Which fleet is responsible for operations in the Eastern Atlantic?

The Sixth Fleet is responsible for operations in the Eastern Atlantic, which includes a broad area ranging from the Mediterranean Sea to portions of the Atlantic Ocean. This fleet plays a critical role in maintaining maritime security and responding to various operational missions within its area of responsibility, including NATO operations and joint exercises with allied nations.

This fleet’s strategic positioning allows it to conduct multiple operations across Europe and parts of North Africa, contributing to the security and stability of these regions. The other fleets, while they have their own operational areas that may overlap slightly with the Eastern Atlantic, are not specifically designated for that region. The First, Second, and Third Fleets have different areas of focus, which do not include the Eastern Atlantic to the extent that the Sixth Fleet does.
