Fleet examines what a navy can actually put to sea: availability rates, deployment cycles, maintenance backlogs, dry-dock queues, crewing levels and operational tempo. Coverage uses audit reports and published fleet data. Intended for planners, maintainers, budget staff and analysts distinguishing a commissioned hull from a deployable one.
Readiness rates, deployment cycles, crew shortfalls and repair backlogs examined through audit findings and fleet statistics, not commissioning ceremonies.
