The actual number changes periodically and is classified. Most numbers that you'll see in media outlets are estimates of force numbers. Actual fleet configuration and numbers is considered critical data that can be used by an enemy for attack planning, which is the reason it is not released as a definitive number to the public.

∙ 12y agoThere is no set number; like all fleet commands around the world, the number of naval assets assigned to 2nd Fleet changes constantly. This is because ships form different Task Forces, Battle Groups, etc., and may leave the 2nd Fleet's operational command area and enter another, or they're formed/assigned as tactical considerations warrant. Ships and other assets that might be assigned to 2nd Fleet's command may be from another Fleet; it depends on the situation and needs of the Navy.
