}}The '''Fourth Fleet''' comprises of the entirety of the ''Grayson Space Navy'' and is one of the [[List of RMN Numbered Fleets|numbered fleets]] within {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[HADM]] [[Lord]] [[Sir]] Tom Saidak, [[KDE]], [[DSO]], [[Steadholder]] Henesy, this fleet has no set area of operations, as its nature as (mostly) correspondence chapters mean that its members can be located anywhere in the world.

The '''Grayson Space Navy''' (''abbrev'': '''GSN''') is a [[Grand Alliance]] navy and a branch option for members of {{trmn}}. Commanded by [[Admiral of the Fleet]] Zachary White, the Grayson Space Navy is one of the larger branches of TRMN. The [[Grayson Home Fleet]] from canon is referred to in TRMN as [[Fourth Fleet]] and hosts the majority of GSN chapters in the organization. However, there are Grayson ships serving in various fleets around the world, and Grayson personnel serving in the [[RMN]], [[IAN]], and [[RHN]].


==History==
==History==
The Grayson Space Navy was founded as part of the initial development of (TRMN). At the time the GSN was comprised solely of [[Chapter#Correspondence_Chapter|correspondence chapters]]. Kit Warren became the first [[High Admiral]] and helped found the first correspondence chapters based in Texas and Florida. She also worked with Martyn Griffiths to start the first chapter in Great Britain, the {{gns|Albion|DD-42}}. Eventually, the GSN transitioned away from the correspondence chapter model and is now comprised of traditional chapters all over the world.
