The forces of the 5th Fleet peaked in early 2003, when five USN aircraft carriers, six USMC LHAs and LHDs, their escorting and supply vessels, and over 30 Royal Navy vessels were under its command.

The Second and Third Fleets are home-ported in the United States, with most of their forces training in coastal waters, while the Sixth and Seventh Fleets are home-ported at forward locations, with forces operating in areas of responsibility.
Leadership and the fleet number varied, because while one admiral commanded the fleet in a specific operation, the other admiral served ashore with his staff planning the next major offensive.
Third Fleet was formed as a fighting force under Admiral "Bull" Halsey on 15 March 1943, and reconstituted in the Middle and Eastern Pacific on 01 February 1975.

Elliott says relational databases allow the 5th Fleet to track inventories and the movement of supplies on ships at sea, in warehouses spread throughout the region and at Navy and Defense Logistics Agency supply depots in the United States.
As a result, he says, the 5th Fleet has cut the time it takes for supplies to get into the region from 30 days to 10 days.
In the past, the 5th Fleet did not have shared databases and, as a result, could not always determine the best place from which to order goods.

In November 1943, he became Commander, 5th Fleet, commanding the Central Pacific Forces, including carriers, battleships and amphibious assets.
He got back to lead the 5th Fleet in battle off those two islands, still not yet fully clear of his idea of a battleship duel.
With due respect to Halsey, it must be said that of the two, Spruance rated higher for Fleet Admiral promotion, for he was a better commander, an admirals' admiral, not a sailors' admiral as Halsey.

The Navy’s 5th Fleet in the Persian Gulf region needed to acquire their provisions from a variety of sources prior to the prime vendor program.
After this was accomplished, contractors who would provide subsistence support to the Navy’s 5th Fleet were chosen, and the contract values were set—$3 million for Zone 1, and $6 million for Zone 2.
The variety of goods from a central provider affords the Navy’s 5th Fleet the opportunity to more easily order and receive goods—one that has given them more time to worry about the bigger picture.

After more than three months in the Arabian Gulf and launching more than 800 sorties – including 547 combat launches – USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) has chopped out of the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility and is heading home.
In addition to the limited maneuvering space, the ship’s watchstanders had to be alert to the numerous mine-like items that often floated by the ship, to erratically shifting weather patterns, including dust storms, and when the combat operations slowed, to mentally shift from a wartime mindset to a post-war mindset.
“[Outchopping from 5th Fleet] was a sense of relief,” said HTCS(SW/AW) Nancy Kolstelny.
