Admiral Nagala was commanding the fleet from Atlantia. Since he was the ranking flag officer, Atlantia was his flagship. --[[User: | Admiral Nagala was commanding the fleet from Atlantia.

How can Atlantia be old enough that a young Adama made his thousandth landing there, and new enough to serve as Nagala's flagship during the Cylon attack? --[[User: | How can Atlantia be old enough that a young Adama made his thousandth landing there, and new enough to serve as Nagala's flagship during the Cylon attack? --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 18:12, 8 January 2006 (EST) | ||
:Answer is simple: How could the USS Missouri be old enough to be a veteran of World War II, yet still be used for combat in the First Persian Gulf War? There were 12 original battlestars; it was never said that they were "decommissioned"; Galactica is "the last of her kind"....in that she was never given an extensive refit/update. Possibly all of the original 12 battlestars could still have been in service, including Atlantia, but they were giving full overhauls and their hulls refitted with modern technology and ''networked computers''. The USS Missouri was put through ''extensive'' refits to modernize its internal machinery; it had laser-guided cruise-missiles for PGW I. I mean there's precedence of this kind of thing in the real world. The difference with Galactica is that it was never significantly refitted or overhauled (presumbably, sliding automatic doors, cordless telephones, etc. were put into Atlantia during a refit, as Doral points out that these aren't on other battlestars anymore). --[[User:Ricimer|Ricimer]] 18:42, 8 January 2006 (EST) | :Answer is simple: How could the USS Missouri be old enough to be a veteran of World War II, yet still be used for combat in the First Persian Gulf War?

::I agree with Ricimer, although nowhere in any information I've found indicate that all 12 original battlestars ''survived'' the first war. The flagship Atlantia could be a modern replacement, as with many of the battlestars we hear of with the same names. Like the original USS Enterprise in "Star Trek", ''Galactica'' may be one of the few (if not only) original battlestar to survive fully intact after her original tour. We just don't know, but that's a logical assumption, especially in light of her conversion into a museum, an honor for any ship of distinction. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 18:52, 8 January 2006 (EST) | ::I agree with Ricimer, although nowhere in any information I've found indicate that all 12 original battlestars ''survived'' the first war.
