Stupid question, but I couldn't find the answer in the rulebook. Thanks!

The flags don’t stack. You can get bonus from some SAs like Destroyer Leader.

What if you had a flag 2 ship, as well as a ship with flotilla leader and 3 destroyers, would your initiative bonus still be 2, or would it be 5?

I could be wrong.

I made a fleet with that theme back in time. Best way to fix initiative roll randomness

It takes a BIG fleet, but...

New Jersey = Flag 2 + 3 Carrier Leader (using max 3 carriers)
+
Operation Catapult Hood or QE = 1 Battleship Leader
+
San Fran or some other Flotilla Leader = 3 (using 3 DDs)
+
A Destroyer Leader = 1
-------------------------
Flag Rating of +10

And I may be missing an SA or two. Of course, if your opponent builds a fleet leveraging low initiative to take advantage of smoke, you may end up killing yourself doing this. High initiative is great for air supremacy builds and large numbers of subs, but can be a real hindrance in some other cases where you actually want to move and attack first.
