fleet command

Ships' operational authority

Fleet command refers to the authority and organizational structure overseeing a naval fleet—the ships, personnel, and operations under unified leadership.

It may designate the headquarters exercising this authority or the position itself: She assumed fleet command in January.

In military video games and science fiction, fleet command often appears as a strategic gameplay element or narrative device: Fleet command ordered all ships to jump to hyperspace.
