submarine fleet
Submerged vessel squadron
A submarine fleet is a nation's or navy's collective force of submarines, considered as a strategic unit.
The term emphasizes submarines as military assets rather than individual vessels: Russia maintains the world's largest submarine fleet.
Fleet can also refer to submarines assigned to a particular command or region: the Pacific submarine fleet.
