What Ship Was This?

I'm looking at a muster roll to a Marine who was with Marine Detachment, Flag Allowance, Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet

 

Google isn't helping. Can someone tell me what ship this was?

Could Flag Allowance be a special pay supplement for marines serving aboard the flag ship of Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet whichever ship that was?

I am thinking Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet may have been shore based, and this may have been the Marine Guard detachment at his headquarters.

Gil is correct,

 

"Flag Allowance" is duty assigned to an Admirals Security detail (i.e. a flag officer) They are assigned to the flag officer (command) and not a specific vessel. In this instance, it's duty to CINCPACFLT.

 

Here's a thread on a Marine assigned to Chester Nimitz (note: see page 2) http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/219657-marine-corps-display/
