Flotilla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A flotilla (from Spanish, meaning a flota of small ships, and this from French flotte), or naval flotilla, is a formation of small warships that may be part of a larger fleet. A flotilla is usually composed of a homogeneous group of the same class of warship, such as destroyers, torpedo boats, submarines, gunboats or minesweepers. A flotilla is usually commanded by a Rear Admiral, a Commodore or a Captain, depending on the importance of the command. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Flotilla   (310 words)

Flotillas Greece - Flotilla sailing Athens - Saronic and Ionian - Lefkas Flotillas are the ideal compromise between bareboat and a crewed charter vacations. Flotilla leaders will help you with issues like mediterranean mooring and anchoring or navigation and will decide whether a certain anchorage is safe for the night. Yet, during the main sailing season in Greece the various flotilla fleets are more and more considered a nuisance by the regular cruising yachts and even by the native Greeks, despite the money these tourists bring to their islands. www.sailingissues.com /flotillas-greece.html   (1017 words)

Flotilla leader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A flotilla leader was a warship suitable for commanding a flotilla of destroyers or other small warships, typically a small cruiser or a large destroyer (known as a destroyer leader). The flotilla leader provided space, equipment and staff for the flotilla captain, including a wireless room, senior engineering and gunnery officers, and administrative staff to support the officers. As destroyers changed from specialized anti-torpedo boat vessels that operated in squadrons to larger multi-purpose ships that operated alone or as leaders of groups of smaller vessels, the need for specialized flotilla leaders decreased, and their functions were adopted by all destroyers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Flotilla_leader   (207 words)
