Scouting Fleet
Defunct component of the U.S. Navy (1922-1942) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scouting Fleet is an important part of the U.S. Navy, established in 1922 as part of the reorganization of the Navy after World War I. It is one of the four core units of the newly formed "American Fleet", which together with the battle Fleet, control force, and fleet Base force constitute the main fighting force. The scouting fleet is responsible for conducting large-scale reconnaissance and forward deployment missions, and consists of battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, and aviation squadrons. The fleet was initially deployed in the Atlantic, then transferred to the Pacific, where it continued to operate until the beginning of World War II. In 1931, the fleet was reorganised and renamed the "Scouting Force".
