A '''squadron''' is a type of echelon of warships organized for administrative and/or operational purposes.

==Honorverse==

===Hyper-capable ships===
[[Honorverse]] navies commonly organize ships into squadrons of eight ships of the same type:

*'''Battle Squadron (BatRon)''' consisting of ships of the wall ([[superdreadnought|superdreadnoughts]] or [[dreadnought|dreadnoughts]])

*'''Battlecruiser Squadron (BatCruRon)'''

*'''Cruiser Squadron (CruRon)''' consisting of [[heavy cruisers]]

*'''Light Cruiser Squadron (LCruRon)''' consisting of [[light cruisers]]

*'''Destroyer Squadron (DesRon)'''

*'''Carrier Squadron (CLACRon)'''

===Divisions===
Each squadron of hyper-capable warships is usually divided into [[division|divisions]] of 2-3 ships.

*BatRon: '''Battle Division (BatDiv)'''

*BatCruRon: '''Battlecruiser Division (BatCruDiv)'''

*CruRon: '''Cruiser Squadron (CruDiv)'''

*LCruRon: '''Light Cruiser Division (LCruDiv)'''

*DesRon: '''Destroyer Division (DesDiv)'''

*CLACRon: '''Carrier Division (CLACDiv)'''

===Flotillas===
It is possible for two or more squadrons to be organized into a '''flotilla'''. This is most common for destroyers. A '''DesFlot''' is usually an administrative echelon with the constituent ships operating individually or in divisions.

===LACs===
[[Light Attack Craft]] are usually organized into Wings or Groups, each of which is commonly divided into squadrons of 8-12 LACs.

==Use in TRMN==

In {{trmn}}(TRMN), squadrons may be formed by chapters within a fleet which are located within a geographical proximity allowing them to operate together (e.g. attend conventions and other events together).

Squadrons/divisions are considered "grassroots" echelons formed at the request of the constituent ships with the approval of the [[First Space Lord]]. This is contrasted with task forces and task groups, which are "top-down" geographical echelons formed by the First Space Lord in consultation with the fleet CO. Squadrons/divisions might be part of a task echelon, but are not necessarily part of one.

Squadrons usually consist of four or more ships, divided into two divisions of 2-3 ships each.

Although in canon a division is by definition a constituent part of a squadron, in TRMN it is common for a division to be formed even if there is not a full squadron. This is because there are often not enough chapters in an area to form a squadron. Divisions will still be numbered as if they are part of a notional squadron.

''Example: CruDiv 42.1 is the first division of the 42nd Cruiser Squadron. Even if TRMN has only this division and no full squadron, the division may have a CruRon 42 crest approved. Later, if CruDiv 42.2 is formed, the two divisions will make up CruRon 42.''
