The Second Fleet (Gryphon) is one of the numbered fleets within The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc.. Commanded by RADM The Earl of Westmarch from his flagship HMS Invincible, this fleet's area of operations includes the U.S. states of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin, as well as the Canadian province of Ontario.

History

Second Fleet was established in 2011 through Naval_Directive_11FB-03, which appointed Antonio Lopes to the position of Commanding Officer of Second Fleet and Second Naval District and brevetted him to the rank of Rear Admiral of the Red.

Operations commenced on 30 August, 2011 with the commissioning of the fleet's first ship, HMS Merlin (CA-270) in Minneapolis, founded and commanded by then-CAPTJG John Neitz. 30 August is still observed annually as "Gryphon Fleet Day," and Merlin bears the title "First in the Fleet."
