idun Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'll probably end up not quite getting this right, I would say it was a confrontation between the two lead/senior ships in opposing fleets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederick Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Flagship as metaphorAs with so many other naval terms, flagship has crossed over into common parlance, where it means the most important or leading member of a group. It has also come to be an adjective describing the most prominent or highly touted product, brand, location, or service among those offered by a company. It now has common derivations such as the "flagship brand" or "flagship product" of a manufacturing company or "flagship store" of a retail chain. Auto companies usually have a flagship in the form of their most important and highest-priced car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomoss Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 The video does not really reflect the actual behaviour of a car in competition.Maybe this one gives a better idea of what can really happen http://www.thesun.co.uk:80/sol/homepage/news/3891501/120mph-carnage-of-TVs-crash-test.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
