First Fleet

First Fleet is the single most powerful military force in the ROD. Nearly half of the Navy’s warships and combat aircraft are assigned to First Fleet. The headquarters for First Fleet is located at Naval Station Saint Catherine, along with the majority of the fleet’s ships.


First Fleet’s geographic area of responsibility is the Pacific Ocean, which means that homeland defense is part of its primary mission, in addition to deploying battle groups and individual ships for combat operations or power projection missions. 



First Fleet includes:


Carrier Battle Group 5

Carrier Battle Group 14

Carrier Battle Group 16

Submarine Squadron 15

Submarine Squadron 16

Submarine Squadron 18

First Fleet Vessels

Task Force Baja


First Fleet Headquarters

The First Fleet Headquarters is the brains of First Fleet’s operations. It is a large organization – 350 officers and NCOs - divided into functional departments to include the command group, plans, operations, liaison, supply, and others. The fleet headquarters’ home is Naval Station Saint Catherine, but a small HQ detachment is always ready to forward deploy when needed. The HQ detachment contains enough staff and equipment to conduct operations and limited planning, but it is still small enough to deploy in a single C-17 and to set up shop on an aircraft carrier, battleship, or in several GP Medium tents.

CVBG-5 is built around the JFK class aircraft carrier Vengeance, the oldest and most distinguished aircraft carrier in ROD service. In addition to the Vengeance (CV-5), the battle group includes the Ticonderoga class cruiser Retriever (CG-44), three Arleigh Burke class destroyers from DESRON 10: Trebuchet (DDG-105), Battle Axe (DDG-115), and Broadsword (DDG-121), the Virginia class attack submarine Catfish (SSN-33), and the Sacramento class fast support ship Grizzly (AOE-91).
