Which fleet is headquartered in Gaeta, Italy?

• A. 6th Fleet
• B. 2nd Fleet
• C. 4th Fleet
• D. 10th Fleet

Answer: (A)

The fleet responsible for Europe and Africa has its headquarters in Gaeta, Italy, a historic hub for U.S. Navy Mediterranean operations. This location brings the staff and ships close to the region’s partners and waterways, enabling effective command and control of naval forces in the Mediterranean and surrounding areas. By contrast, the fleet that handles the Western Atlantic is based in Norfolk, Virginia; the one for the Caribbean and Latin America is in Mayport, Florida; and the cyberspace-focused fleet operates from Fort Meade, Maryland. So Gaeta is the home of the Europe/Africa fleet.
