	First World War.com - Who's Who - Alfred von Tirpitz
		Introducing the First Fleet Act in 1898, Tirpitz announced the re-organisation and build-up of the Navy.
		This was followed by the Second Fleet Act in 1900, which proved far more ambitious in determining to construct a fleet capable of matching the British Royal Navy, with a 17-year deadline for the completion of construction of a fleet of 2 flagships, 36 battleships, 11 large and 34 small cruisers.
		Given such figures the German Fleet would patently not have been to effectively challenge the British Fleet in open action (with the Battle of Jutland the only notable Fleet action during the war).

	First Fleet to conduct fuel consumption study
		First Fleet Corp., a national provider of asset management services to private truck fleets, has announced an initiative that will address rising fuel costs.
		First Fleet noted two events are currently having a major impact on private truck fleets’ overall cost-per-mile: new engine emissions standards that have negatively affected fuel economy, and a record cost per gallon for diesel fuel, which ranks as the second-highest operating expense for truck fleets, exceeded only by driver salaries.
		During Phase I of First Fleet’s fuel consumption study, nearly 200 telematics devices will be installed on a large cross-section of Class 8 tractors in ten participating private truck fleets with different vocations, as well as with varying demographics in order to identify various ambient temperature and operating terrains.

	Capul v. Fleet Bank
		Fleet agreed to the release in exchange for a first mortgage on the Tripletts' car dealership that had recently been appraised at a value of $1.1 million.
		He argues that he acquired the status of a surety when he subordinated his mortgage on the dealership to Fleet's first mortgage, and that Fleet therefore had a duty to disclose to him information regarding the nature of the risk he was assuming.
		Capul's subordination agreement with the Tripletts merely changed his priority; he did not promise Fleet that Fleet could pursue him if the Tripletts failed to fulfill their obligation to the bank and did not undertake to pledge his property as a guarantee for the Tripletts' debt.
