Tenth Fleet.

This is coolbert:

"Tenth Fleet never put to sea, had no ships, and never had more than about 50 people in its organization."


The Tenth Fleet!

What is this? A fleet without ships, ports, etc. A fleet for which there was no sea duty!

Such a thing can be? Such a thing has been, and is now! A venerable tradition of the U.S. Navy ONLY JUST RECENTLY REACTIVATED!

The Tenth Fleet. A fleet having a wartime [World War Two] administrative function sans vessels - - but possessing great authority as to how the war at sea [Atlantic] was fought!

"The Tenth Fleet [was and] is a functional formation of the United States Navy. It was first created as an anti-submarine warfare coordinating organization during the Battle of the Atlantic in the Second World War. It has been reactivated as Fleet Cyber Command."

Tenth Fleet - - the mission of which was:

"Tenth Fleet's mission included the destruction of enemy submarines" AND any and all measures taken to win the Battle of the Atlantic - - the anti-submarine warfare being waged against the U-boat fleets of the Kriegsmarine!!

Again - - the proud tradition, a venerable one even, being reactivated, AND ONLY recently:

"Tenth Fleet was reactivated January 29, 2010 as U.S. Fleet Cyber Command/U.S. Tenth Fleet at Fort Meade, Maryland . . . Tenth Fleet has operational control over Navy information, computer, cryptologic, and space forces."

"A fleet without ships, ports, etc. A fleet for which there was no sea duty!"

But with responsibility that cannot be denied! Tenth Fleet stand tall!
