<< Can't speak for many TV shows (though it wasn't the *male* captain of
an
Omega-class who rammed in Severed Dreams!), but if you're thinking of
Vanessa Murakuma in In Death Ground (by Weber), she flew her colours
from
a Viper-class battleship until it got too badly shot up in 3rd Justin -
she then moved to a superdreadnought. There are lots of female admirals
in Weber's books, BTW - most of them command the heaviest ships
available
(Erika Wilson, Jessica van der Gelder, Hannah Avram just to mention a
few).
'Course, Weber is a man himself and might not have noticed the
difference
in mental vewpoints :-) >>
Good point, I forgot about the flag change for Muakuma.
I think that with my original ideas I missed some very imported points.
