Home Fleet

The Home Fleet is a major division of a navy responsible for protecting a country's waters, coastlines, and maritime interests near its homeland. It primarily operates in the home waters and surrounding areas, serving as a flexible force for defense, patrol, and maritime security. Historically, the Home Fleet managed Britain's naval operations around the UK, but modern equivalents focus on safeguarding national sovereignty, conducting patrols, and providing defense readiness. Essentially, it is the fleet tasked with defending a nation's maritime borders and ensuring security within its regional waters.
