		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.

	Fleet in Being
		A Fleet in Being is a fleet that avoids decisive action, but, because of its strength and location, causes or necessitates counter-concentrations and so reduces the number of opposing units available for operations elsewhere.
		Mahan’s concept of a “fleet in being,” is a force or capability that cannot be ignored by observers and whose very existence shapes what the observers do.

	Inner City Press' Fleet Watch
		Fleet has yet to disclose the locations of the 85 branches it would close, or to explain why it is making a lending commitment limited to one of the three states in which Summit has branches.
		Fleet should be directed to respond to questions similar to those the FRB has recently asked Firstar, including a break-out of Fleet's performance under its 1999 lending commitment in each state, MSA and county.
		Fleet's response is evasive and insufficient; it is an attempt to impermissibly preclude analysis and consideration of the foreseeable effects of this proposal, during the FRB's consideration of the Application.

	The Fleet in Action
		Such being the conditions obtaining at present, it has to be considered whether a survey of past experience, together with an examination of the difficulties to be overcome, may not suggest further developments.
		Tactics being the art of obtaining the position in action in which the weapons employed may be used to the greatest advantage, it is now to consider what that position is. There are thus two factors: (1) position, (2) hitting.
		The movements of the enemy's fleet and their general disposition will be the determining factors; and it may even be necessary to move the centre directly to the support of one of the wings.

	B.3. Fleet Building and International Conflicts
		The weak German battle fleet was unable to protect the influx of essential imports in case of war with the Franco-Russian alliance or Britain.
		These efforts to enlargen the fleet all lacked success since the German navy had no convincing strategic concept for a role beyond coastal defense and because the army was considered the mainstay of German defense.
		It was too dangerous for the German fleet to provoke a battle far from its bases, and the British, on their side, saw no advantage in risking battle by sending all their ships near the German coast.

	Fleet Growth
		The Long Beach fleet has the teams that finished 1,2 and 12 at the last worlds, and is way faster than the San Diego fleet, but the San Diego fleet is probably growing faster and for all I know is having as much or more fun for way less $$ invested.
		I think my local fleet is going to have significant growth in the next 24 months as some of these people buy 505s (right now we have 3-4 people trying to buy the right used 505 so they can become active in our local fleet).
		The fleet is much of the reason classes grow, as the key link in getting people into a class is the face to face contact and opportunities to go for a sail, that a local fleet and a local fleet captain provide.

		The task force's primary mandates will be to come up with a way to make sure vehicles are being used efficiently (deadline April 30) and then to determine whether the county's "rapid rotation" program, by which cars and light trucks are bought and sold every year or two (deadline July 31), is cost-effective.
		In its Dec. 22 report, the citizens' review panel, already generally negative toward the county's fleet practices, directed particular criticism toward the county's "under- utilization" of vehicles — vehicles that are purchased and then not used much before being rotated out and replaced with new ones.
		County fleet manager Nick Morgan has repeatedly complained about underutilization, but his ability to do anything about it has been limited since, in large part, the county departments ordering the vehicles from fleet management are themselves in charge of determining how many they need.

		It would still be considered a fleet account as the Tokenote® would still be set up as a fleet account - but here the operator is the owner of the fleet account.

		On October 27th, I withdrew my last $20 from my Fleet account and then closed my account with Fleet later that afternoon (I had no outstanding checks to clear) at which time the bank employees gave me the 88 cents that was remaining in my bank account.
		I soon received a letter from Fleet stating that I had overdrawn my closed account since they had not applied the $4 service fees for that month and so the $20 that I had withdrawn from my ATM was "overdrawn" -- presented for payment against insufficient funds" -- and retroactively slapped with a $25 fee.
