A '''fleet''' is a large, permanent organization of starships. Fleets are usually relatively large and manned by thousands of individuals on what is normally hundreds of ships. Smaller, more temporary groups of ships are generally known as [[~~task force~~]]s.

UNSC fleets are massive divisions of UNSC ships. UNSC fleets usually consist of large numbers of [[UNSC frigate|frigates]] and [[UNSC destroyer|destroyers]], escorting a handful of larger [[UNSC carrier|carriers]] and [[cruiser]]s. Fleets, as with battle groups, usually have at least one [[UNSC prowler|prowler]] to act as the fleet's eyes and ears and to also serve as saboteurs.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 329''</ref> Fleets are given a simple, numerical designation.

[[File:Covenant Fleet Heretic.jpg|thumb|250px|A Covenant fleet.]]

Covenant fleets are usually dominated by larger, more powerful ships. [[Covenant frigate]]s are common in smaller fleets, however, there are usually far more [[Covenant destroyer|destroyers]] and [[Covenant cruiser|cruisers]] suited for [[glassing|plasma bombardment]]. Covenant fleets are essentially self-sustaining armadas, capable of operating without supply for indefinite periods thanks to their use of [[Covenant agricultural support ship|agricultural support ships]]. ~~They~~ are also given different designations~~, like ships~~. Larger Covenant fleets typically contain thousands of ships, most of them {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}s and groups of {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}s.
