Includes: wikify lower section, too many redlinks and just plain clarity. In some places, lists would be more useful than sentence enumeration. meatclerk 07:09, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Post Java Campaign

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)

They went to ABDA first, then the contemporary 7h Fleet (ultimately under Kinkaid). TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 00:45, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

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.

I haven't found any sources indicating what fleets the remaining vessels fell under, other than that those who did escape made it to Australia. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 05:12, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

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. TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 18:24, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

References

There is no reference to go with the short form citiations of Blair.

Can one be supplied?

If not they should be deleted.

If you read down, you'll see Blair attached to Seawolf. Fixed anyhow. TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 12:58, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

USS Dewey YFD-1 Floating Dry Dock

There was a floating dry dock named the Dewey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Dewey_%28YFD-1%29 at US Naval Base Subic Bay, Olongapo and upon the outbreak of WWII it was moved to Mariveles Bay. Wouldn't this floating dry dock be part of the Asiatic Fleet? Joedumlao (talk) 09:25, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
