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}}. | 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.

==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]]. | |||
