The
United States Pacific Fleet (USPACFLT) is a Navy theater-level component command of the
U.S. armed forces, under the operational control of the
United States Pacific Command. Its homeport is at Pearl Harbor Naval Base,
Hawaii, commanded by Commander Pacific Fleet (COMPACFLT), a four-star
admiral. (The term, also used during World War II, was often shown as COMPACFLT as Navy typewriters in the ship's message centers at the time contained only capital letters to lessen the chance for typing or reading errors.) Prior to
24 October 2002, the commander was titled Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Fleet (CINCPACFLT).
