About Asiatic Fleet Memorial Day

Today is the Anniversary of the The United States Navy's presence in the Far East beginning March 1, 1822. The Asiatic Fleet was formed in 1902, reestablished in 1910, and continued to serve into 1942. Through years of unrest and disturbance, the Fleet protected American lives and interests along the China coast and the Yangtze River, bearing responsibilities that were as much diplomatic as Naval. The Fleet also assisted civilian areas devastated by the forces of nature and by internal warfare.

The Asiatic Fleet was in 1942 and replaced by the US Navy Pacific Fleet.
