|
| The '''Seventh Fleet''' is a numbered [[expeditionary fleet]] of the [[UNSC Navy]].
| | It participated in the [[Second Battle of Earth]] on November 3, 2552, and, in conjunction with the [[Second Fleet|Second]] and [[Sixteenth Fleet]]s, was engaged in major skirmishes with the [[Covenant]] fleet in [[Earth]] orbit. |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | It was mentioned by [[Sergeant Laura "Smokes" Tanner]], while piloting [[Blue Team]] to the [[Centennial Orbital Elevator]]. |
| ===Consolidation===
| |
| Following the [[Fall of Reach]], the Seventh Fleet and all other surviving naval assets of the [[United Nations Space Command]] were recalled back to the [[Sol system]] and consolidated into a single command grouping under the [[Home Fleet]] in preparation for the inevitable [[Battle for Earth]], effective [[2552#September|September 5, 2552]]. [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Joseph Harper]] of the [[Fifth Fleet]] was given primary administrative and tasking authority for all naval assets in the Sol system, as authorized by [[UNSC High Command]] and the [[UEG Security Council]], though the Second Fleet and its fellow fleets retained control over their [[battle group]]s.<ref name="lootcrate2">'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #2]]''</ref>

| *The emblem of the Seventh Fleet was originally seen on the prows of the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' and the ''Aegis Fate'' in ''[[Halo 3]]''. However, the meaning of this symbol was not officially specified until [[Stephen Loftus]] associated it with the Seventh Fleet in the entry for the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' in ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''.<ref>[http://www.halopedia.org/index.php?title=Talk:FFG-127&diff=prev&oldid=1040264 Comment by Stephen Loftus]</ref>
