Includes: wikify lower section, too many redlinks and just plain clarity. In some places, lists would be more useful than sentence enumeration. meatclerk07:09, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So what occurred to the vessels belonging to the fleet after the Java Campaign? There is no mention what command those vessels fell under afterwards. Was there a successor command? I know that the fleet boats/submarines moved to Fermantle/Perch in Western Australia, but what of the surface ships that remained? Other than the 7th fleet in the modern period, what fleets had operational control in their area of operation? --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 02:17, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The only problem I see with that is that the Asiatic Fleet had fallen under the ABDA, so it was a superior organization over the fleet, rather than being a lineage successor organization, which is what I am inquiring about.
So you're looking for what designations took over, or where subordinate units ended up? Again, AFAIK (& without a mess of research...), AsFlt disappeared as a senior command & became (or was replaced by, IDK exactly which) 7h Flt, which is where the survivors ended up. IIRC, Christie was already on Hart's staff, & stayed in charge of subs after Doyle got transferred, & Christie was the senior sub officer (COMSUBSWPAC), & all the subs, at least, were his. Where the surface units wound up IDK. TREKphilerany time you're ready, Uhura 18:24, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
