As originally designed in 2015, the Tenth Fleet Summit is not a single meeting but a '''series of separate sessions''' held across the convention weekend, each aimed at a different tier of the fleet — so that there is something for essentially every level of the membership: | As originally designed in 2015, the Tenth Fleet Summit is not a single meeting but a '''series of separate sessions''' held across the convention weekend, each aimed at a different tier of the fleet — so that there is something for essentially every level of the membership: | ||

In addition to these sessions, summits have hosted '''commissioning ceremonies''' for newly formed chapters and vessels — for example, {{hms|Cerberus|CLAC-42}} was commissioned at the 2015 summit.<ref name="tg">[[Task Group 91.1]] — task group history documenting the 2015 summit and its commissioning.</ref> | In addition to these sessions, summits have hosted '''commissioning ceremonies''' for newly formed chapters and vessels — for example, {{hms|Cerberus|CLAC-42}} was commissioned at the 2015 summit.<ref name="tg">[[Task Group 91.1]] — task group history documenting the 2015 summit and its commissioning.</ref> | ||

Separately from the fleet-wide summit, when the summit was held in the north [[Task Group 91.1]] convened its own '''Task Group 91.1 Summit''' for the task group's own (largely California-based) members at [[BayCon]] in 2016 and 2018.

In its earliest years the fleet styled these gatherings as a '''Fleet Exercise''' ("FleetEx") — a term the fleet's Marines borrowed from real-world naval exercises such as [[wikipedia:RIMPAC|RIMPAC]] — and documented them on dedicated event pages listing the participating and observing vessels: [[FleetEx OryCon 37]] (November 2015), [[FleetEx NorWesCon 39]] (which housed the 2016 summit), and [[FleetEx FresCon 2016]]. The governing definitions of a '''Fleet Event''' and the now-deprecated '''Admiralty House Event''' are set out in [[Orders:Admiralty Order 1803-02]] (see [[Event]]). | |||
