fleet
Admiral's ship collection
Fleet describes a group of vehicles or vessels with a common purpose or mission.
All of the vehicles owned by a company for their own use may be called a fleet, just as all the ships of a nation are.
As an adjective, fleet is seen mainly in literary use meaning fast, in the expressions fleet of foot and a fleet horse.
