Realistically Named Fleets (PS4)

Are there any REALISTICALLY named PS4 fleets that are recruiting?

I served in the U.S. Navy 7th Fleet & we joined up with the 5th Fleet for Operation Iraqi Freedom (I know, it was an illegal invasion; I’m not proud of that “war.”)

Anyhow, as aforementioned, I was in 7th Fleet.

I’ve been invited to numerous fleets. Some called “battalions,” “corps,” et cetera.

But, I am looking for a fleet with a simple, realistic name as I served in a real fleet.

    If XBox is any comparison, you'll prolly have to create it yourself. I should know, my Fed Rom is in a fleet called "United Federation of Hotties". lol

    My Orion is in “Orion Sirens,” but for my Fed characters I am hoping for a realistically named fleet.

    I was an engineer on my fist ship before becoming a public affairs specialist. So, I created my firat character as an engineer. I even named my first ship after the first ship I served on. Then the rest I named after other 7th Fleet ships.

    In Star Trek, there are little examples of individually named fleets. They are simply numbered and probably describe task forces formed for specific tasks and almost all examples are from DS9 and the Dominion War arc. Starfleet-Alliance seventh fleet was almost wiped out at Tyra when the Jem'Hadar attacked the system.

    What I would deem realistic for the setting are departments or subdivisions. My Federation fleet (PC though) is named "Exploratory Division" for example.​​

    In many cases, I headcanon fleet names as unit mascot names... Mine, for example, 'Frontier Fleet' is the '7th "Frontier" Fleet'... because plain, simple '7th Fleet' was already taken at the time I created the fleet.

    A lot of times, you simply can't do that because some fleet names are incomprehensibly ridiculous, IMO. Of course, I'm biased in that I play STO as a Trek sim, not as a traditional grinding WoW-like MMO that it is... so, for me, I prefer not to treat fleets like standard MMO guilds.

    Of course, as in all things, YMMV.

    I contacted the guy who created 7th Fleet to see if I could join. He said he left the fleet a long time ago & didn’t think he had access to it.

    I asked him if he could access it, if he would add me & give me admin permissions I would take it over & recruit people to keep it going.

    He emailed developers & they told him they would not give him access because there is nobody in the fleet anymore.

    Which begs the question: Why won’t the developers DELETE they EMPTY fleet, so that someone else can create a fleet with that name?

    It is lame. The name (on PS4, at least) is taken up by a non-active fleet, with NO PLAYERS in it, but they developers/admins won’t delete the fleet to make the name available for others.

    From my understanding, at least on PC, that's how it's SUPPOSED to work--when the last person leaves the fleet, it's supposed to delete itself. However, if there's even one person--even if that person has been inactive for years--it's stuck.

    As an aside... 7th Fleet is the name I wanted to use when I created Frontier Fleet--but it was already used at the time. 7th Fleet is the only by-name fleet mentioned in in-game dialogue--from a computer readout in a Tal Shiar surveillance outpost, from the mission "Mine Enemy", intelligence reports states that
    Observed from captured holofeed in Earth Spacedock:
    * 7th Fleet entered Neutral Zone as part of a "routine" series of exercises.
    ... since the player's Fleet Starbase is situated near the former Klingon Neutral Zone... I made the connection that 7th Fleet *IS* the PC's fleet.

    On PS4 7th Fleet was created by a user. I DM’d them about it, but they left the fleet & subsequently, everyome else left, too. It is vacant. But, admins won’t delete it.

    Same on PC. The PC 7th Fleet isn't vacant, but the only people left in it were 3+ years inactive last time I had the ability to check--Can't do that anymore now what Gateway went offline.
