1943
a pacific fleet was created in 1907 when the asiatic squadron and the pacific squadron were combined. in 1910, the ships of the first squadron were organized back into a separate asiatic fleet. the general order 94 of 6 december 1922 organized the united states fleet, with the battle fleet as the pacific presence. until may 1940, the battle fleet was stationed on the west coast of the united states (primarily at san diego). during the summer of that year, as part of the u.s. response to japanese expansionism, it was instructed to take an "advanced" position at pearl harbor, hawaii. long term basing at pearl harbor was so strongly opposed by the commander, admiral james o. richardson, that he personally protested in washington. political considerations were thought sufficiently important that he was relieved by admiral husband e. kimmel, who was in command at the time of the attack on pearl harbor.
