Capt. Vostrikov refers to the K-19 as the 'flagship'. However, no flag officer (admiral) was present for the duration of its maiden voyage. Furthermore, spending lengthy periods of time under water (and being unable to communicate during those periods) would make a submarine an unsuitable command platform for the Soviet Northern Fleet, of which K-19 was part.
