IIRC, the Navy’s Fleets are geographical commands. They “own” a chunk of ocean, and any ships operating in that chunk, are under their command.
Second Fleet- “owned” the North Atlantic
Fifth Fleet- Indian Ocean
Sixth Fleet- Mediterranean
Seventh Fleet- Western Pacific

So, never heard of a “first” fleet. Where would it be?
