List of units of the United States Navy


This article is a list of commands of the United States Navy.
The list is organized along administrative chains of command, and does not include the CNO's office or shore establishments.
Deployable/operational U.S. Navy units typically have two chains of command the operational chain and the administrative chains.
Operational CoCs change quite often based on a unit's location and current mission. For example, is always administratively assigned to Commander, Naval Air Force, Atlantic Fleet. It might also be operationally assigned to CNAL early in its inter-deployment readiness cycle. Before 2010, later in the IDRC, it would have been assigned to Commander, Second Fleet, which is responsible for Carrier Strike Group training and operations on the east coast.
Once the CSG deploys and crosses over the inter-UCC boundary in the mid-Atlantic, it then reports to the Sixth Fleet.
Once the CSG enters the Suez Canal, it "chops" to the Fifth Fleet for operational control.
Operationally, the Roosevelt CSG chain of command is: Commander Fifth Fleet, Commander U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, Commander U.S. Central Command, United States Secretary of Defense, President of the United States.
