The '''Tenth Fleet''', also known as the '''Talbott Fleet''', is one of the numbered [[fleet]]s within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[RADM]] Edward Newton, [[RMN]], this fleet's area of operations includes the [[wikipedia:United_States|American states]] of [[wikipedia:Alaska|Alaska]], [[wikipedia:California|California]], [[wikipedia:Idaho|Idaho]], [[wikipedia:Hawai'i|Hawai'i]], [[wikipedia:Oregon|Oregon]], [[wikipedia:Nevada|Nevada]], and [[wikipedia:Washington|Washington]] as well as the [[wikipedia:Dominion of Canada|Canadian provinces]] of [[wikipedia:British Columbia|British Columbia]] and the [[wikipedia:Yukon Territory|Yukon Territory]].
==History==
The Tenth Fleet was established in 2011 with the [[Orders:Naval Directive 11FB-07]] from the [[First Space Lord]], [[FADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Scott Akers, to then-[[RADM]] Chrissy Killian to assume command of the fleet. {{hmlac|Grimalkin|LAC-002}} formed in the Los Angeles area in February of 2012, under the command of then-[[LTSG]] Christopher Beilby. The very first hyper-capable vessel to commission within the fleet was the lead ship of the [[Roland-class]], {{hms|Roland|DD-476}}, in May of 2012, based in the city of San Jose, California, under the command of then-[[LCDR]] Jack Yeager. Two months later, the [[Nike-class]] [[battlecruiser]] {{hms|Truculent|BC-593}} formed in Seattle, WA, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Timothy Monk. ''Grimalkin'' would upgrade to the [[Roland-class]] [[destroyer]] {{hms|Bedivere|DD-486}}, the following year, and then again to the famous [[Star Knight-class]] [[Heavy Cruiser]] {{hms|Merlin|CA-270}}.
 
With those three vessels operating and growing their crews, the fleet remained in that configuration until the fleet saw a major growth spurt beginning on April 15, 2014, when the Nike-class {{hms|Artemis|BC-592}} formed in San Francisco, California, under the command of [[CAPTSG]] [[Sir]] Thomas Marrone, [[KR]]. In Oregon, the [[Agamemnon-class]] [[battlecruiser]] {{hms|Black Rose|BC-520}} commissioned on April 19th at NorWesCon, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] James Sena. Shortly afterwards during BayCon 2014 on Memorial Day Weekend, {{hms|Wolf|CA-429}} formed in the California Central Valley, under the command of then-[[CAPTJG]] James Jones. Less than a month later, [[Task Group 91.1]] was formed under the command of Sir Thomas, with ''Artemis'' as his flagship.
 
''Black Rose'' and ''Truculent'''s efforts led to major growth in the Pacific Northwest, with {{hms|Andromeda|BC-571}} (Everett, WA) and {{hms|Helen|BC-570}} (Hillsboro, OR) commissioning in October. These two new [[battlecruiser|battlecruisers]] helped to form [[Battlecruiser Squadron 96]] as a result, with ''Black Rose'' and ''Helen'' forming one division (BatCruDiv 961), while ''Truculent'' and ''Andromeda'' formed the other (BatCruDiv 962).
 
2015 has seen more expansion, especially with the first vessel to launch in British Columbia during February, {{hms|Callisto|BC-722}} under the command of [[CAPT]] Jenni Merrifield, [[GSN]]. ''Callisto'' joined BatCruDiv 962 upon commissioning. BayCon saw another vessel launching in May, with the first [[LAC Carrier]] in Tenth Fleet to form, {{hms|Cerberus|CLAC-42}}, under Captain Jones' command, spinning off from his former command, ''Wolf''. In June, the [[Kamerling-class]] [[Light Cruiser]] {{hms|Eardsidh Kamerling|CL-717}} launched in southeastern Washington under the command of [[CDR]] Terry Banta, and joined BatCruDiv 961 as a screening element. The following month, [[HMLAC Cochrane (LAC-010)|HMLAC ''Cochrane'']] launched in San Diego under the command of [[LTJG]] Thomas Grellner, joining Task Group 91.1. ''Grimalkin'' rejoined Tenth Fleet under the command of [[LTSG]] Tim Simpson, patrolling San Diego.
 
In November, ''Artemis'' upgraded to {{hms|Medusa|SD-316}} under the command of [[CDRE]] Michael Garcia, becoming the very first [[superdreadnought]] in the fleet, and became the flagship of Tenth Fleet after Admiral [[Fontana Flats]] transferred her flag aboard. Later that month, {{rhns|Seljuk|SD-903}} and {{gns|Madrigal|BC-13}} commissioned at OryCon 37 in Portland, while ''Merlin'' and ''Grimalkin'' upgraded to ''Artemis'' and ''Bedivere'', respectively.
 
BatCruDiv963 formed in 2016, under the command of ''Madrigal'' 's commanding officer, [[CAPT]] Robert Demkiw, GSN. ''Medusa'' launched a pinnace in preparation for a new destroyer in Sacramento (HM Pinnace ''Medusa''-01). {{hms|Hellhound|DD-446}} was the first ship to be commissioned in 2016, under the command of [[LCDR]] Sir Mark Gledhill, [[KE]], expanding the British Columbia presence from two ships to three. {{hms|Chainshot|DD-372}} commissioned at BayCon 2016, under the command of then-[[CDR]] Sir Joseph Harney, [[KCE]], returning ''Medusa'''s pinnace back to the boat bay. In June, ''Hellhound'' joined BatCruDiv963, while ''Roland'' and ''Chainshot'' formed DesDiv231, under the command of [[CDR]] Jack Yeager. ''Wolf'' and ''Cerberus'' merged to form {{hms|Thunderer|SD-323}} in July, under the command of [[CAPTJG]] Sonja Thiede. {{gns|Randolph Candless|BC-56}} commissioned in early August under the command of [[CAPT]] Aaron Davis, [[GSN]]. ''Artemis'' and ''Randolph Candless'' formed BatCruDiv 921 under the command of [[CAPTSG]] Beilby. During August, ''Roland'' and ''Chainshot'' upgraded to Superdreadnoughts, commissioning {{hms|Intractable|SD-459}} and {{hms|Revenge|SD-317}}, respectively.
 
[[Battle Squadron 2]] formed in early September 2016, under the command of [[CDRE]] Sir Joseph Harney, with subordinate echelon forces in Battle Division 201 (''Medusa'' and ''Intractable'') and Battle Division 202 (''Thunderer'' and ''Revenge''). Later that month, ''Madrigal'' and ''Hellhound'' upgraded to the Superdreadnought {{gns|Jason Mueller|SD-36}} and Light Cruiser {{hms|Avalon|CL-395}}, respectively. As a result, BatCruDiv 963 was dissolved, and both vessels along with ''Callisto'' were placed on detached duty within Tenth Fleet.
In the years that followed, the fleet underwent a series of reorganizations. [[Battlecruiser Squadron 96]] was deactivated on 28 April 2019, having become understrength,<ref name="nd19apr05">[[Orders:Naval Directive 19APR-05]]</ref> as was its subordinate Battlecruiser Division 962.<ref name="nd19apr04">[[Orders:Naval Directive 19APR-04]]</ref> [[Battle Squadron 2]] was deactivated on 2 June 2020.<ref name="nd20ju02">[[Orders:Naval Directive 20JU-02]]</ref> [[Task Group 92.1]] was activated on 8 January 2022 under [[CDRE]] Mir Plemmons.<ref name="nd22ja01">[[Orders:Naval Directive 22JA-01]]</ref> On 25 February 2025, [[Orders:Her Majesty's Naval Directive 2502-05]] dissolved the fleet's remaining single-ship echelons, including [[Task Group 91.1]], though [[Battlecruiser Division 921]] was expressly retained.<ref name="hmnd250205"/> Command of the fleet passed from [[RADM]] Drakkus Heath to [[RADM]] Edward Newton on 1 January 2025.<ref>[[Orders:Her Majesty's Naval Directive 2501-01]]</ref>

==Tenth Fleet Summit==
{{main|Tenth Fleet Summit}}
The '''[[Tenth Fleet Summit]]''' is the fleet's annual in-person muster, held each year at a science-fiction convention within the fleet's area of responsibility. Because that area is geographically vast, Fleet leadership (the Commanding Officer, Deputy Commanding Officer, and [[FSMCPO]]) rotates the summit between '''northern''' venues in the Pacific Northwest — such as [[NorWesCon]], [[OryCon]], and [[RadCon]] — and '''southern''' venues in California, principally [[BayCon]], to keep travel equitable for the fleet's widely dispersed ships and members. Designed in 2015 as a '''series of separate sessions''' across the convention weekend — each aimed at a different tier of the fleet — the summit comprises a '''Commanding Officers' Meeting''' (chapter COs and echelon commanders with Fleet Staff), a parallel '''Senior Enlisted Meeting''' run by the [[FSMCPO]] for bosuns, gunnies, and senior enlisted advisors, a smaller '''Flag Officers' Meeting''' for flag-rank and echelon command, and an '''Awards Ceremony''' led by the Fleet Commanding Officer recognizing promotions and service over the previous fiscal year. Summits have also hosted commissioning ceremonies for newly formed chapters. Separately, [[Task Group 91.1]] held its own summits for the task group's own members at [[BayCon]] in 2016 and 2018. The 2026 summit was designated a Flag Event by [[Orders:Tenth Fleet Order 2511-01|Tenth Fleet Order 2511-01]].
