  Fleet in being - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In naval warfare, a fleet in being is a naval force that extends a controlling influence without ever leaving port.
Were the fleet to leave port and face the enemy, it might lose in battle and no longer influence the enemy's actions, but by simply remaining safely in port the enemy is forced to continually deploy forces to guard against it.
A fleet in being can be part of a sea denial doctrine but not one of sea control.

 Channel Express - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It operated scheduled services from Bournemouth to the Channel Islands and nightly cargo services to Europe and throughout the UK on behalf of Royal Mail and other overnight express carriers.

The Jet2 fleet comprises of 20 Boeing 737-300 and 4 Boeing 757-200 aircraft.

 APPENDIX E: ESTIMATION OF TARGET AND LONG-RUN OVERCAPACITY: AN EXAMPLE FROM THE ENGLISH CHANNEL FISHERIES
A multi-objective bio-economic model was used to determine the “optimal” fleet configuration and size for key fleet segments operating in the fisheries of the English Channel.
The resulting fleet size and structure thereby represented that which was required to harvest the “optimal” yield operating at full capacity.
An optimal fleet with a higher weight on employment was characterized by a large number of smaller boats, particularly in the United Kingdom.

 "A Fleet in Being"
Today’s books of reference indicate that this was introduced in the Channel Fleet in 1903, when the old fl, white and buff paintwork gave way to grey.
The title, "A Fleet in Being", was borrowed by Kipling from the pages of British naval history, where it has a special significance dating back to 1690 when Lord Torrington, commanding William III's naval force in the Channel, found himself facing a stronger French fleet.
Though often called the Channel Fleet, which was natural enough in view of the number and variety of its ships, officially this force was the Channel Squadron, until June 1903, when for eighteen months it was a Fleet.

We had discussed me moving into the Ionian and his fleet going to the Tyrrhenian with a long convoy in mind and he does retreat to the Tyrrhenian, so he might not be viewing this as quite as offensive as it really is. Russia: Army Moscow HOLD.
What he needs to fight France is fleets, and he doesn't have enough room to move armies through Germany, so the only thing they could be for is to attack me. I worried that he might get greedy with those three builds and think he could still be a contender.
If he is moving that channel fleet back to the Mediterranean it represents a lot of lost time.

 The Heritage Coast: The Channel Fleet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
From the anchorage the Channel Fleet, (sometimes called the Channel Squadron), sailed on exercises, prepared for summer cruises or assembled in times of a national emergency.
However a Channel Fleet was still required to deny those waters to the enemy and to protect troop movements to mainland Europe.
However in 1939 a Channel force was once more constituted to protect the passage of the British Expeditionary Force until, in 1940, the Germans occupied France and Portland Harbour became vulnerable to air attack.

As a result, his one build is almost certain to be a fleet in London; my builds are obvious and with yours the only question is whether Kiel is a fleet or an army.
If he *is* determined to move into the Channel, I can't stop him, but if not, there's no real advantage to me moving there this round (and I can support myself in from the MAO in the fall).
This could conceivably scare him into using the Channel fleet to support the North Sea fleet (and not attacking MAO, which would foul my attack), which might help, or using Norway to attack Sweden, which wouldn't help but would be fun to watch.

I was sure England would build a fleet (what good would an army do him?), and there's not much he can do with it but attack me, so I built a fleet also.
The scary thing is that his fleet could easily be used to take Tunis back away from me (which would ultimately end up in Turkey's hands if he does it).
My fleet is for use in Scandinavia, but will probably be the unit to remove when I have to.

 "A Fleet in Being" Notes I
He went on to command the Channel Fleet, 1907-09, and had a spectacular falling out with the First Sea Lord, Fisher, to the great detriment of naval morale.
Though still shown in the Navy List as Channel Squadron, the Royal Sovereign and Empress of India had actually been relieved by new Majestic Class ships, and their departure for the Mediterranean was merely postponed till after the Manoeuvres.
This was the first encounter between steam-powered fleets, and the pundits decided that the ram would be the deciding weapon in future encounters.
