| |
| within the United Federation of Planets, for both
| |
| Exploration and Defense, the fleet has had a Naval
| |
| makeup in the way its vessels were deployed. The
| |
| most basic grouping of vessels is a 'Fleet', and
| |
| it is the fleets that play the biggest part in both
| |
| sector exploration and Federation Defense.<br>
| |
| | |
| <br>
| |
| From there, the fleet breaks down into Tactical
| |
| Wings, Battle Group, then to Single Vessels. <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| In the current time-line, just after the Dominion
| |
| War, there are fifty-six full fleets with the standard
| |
| group of un-affiliated vessels (Known as the Phantom
| |
| Fleet) that serve as backup and for mobility. <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| What follows is the breakdown of the fleet, and
| |
| the full definitions of each level of organization.
| |
| <br>
| |

| |
| | |
| See the <a href="/database/documents/fleetdefinitions.html">Definitions</a>
| |
| page for explanations of specific terms contained
| |
| within the breakdown, and for extra information.
