During World War II, the Atlantic Ocean operations were primarily managed by three numbered fleets of the United States Navy: the Atlantic Fleet, the 2nd Fleet, and the 3rd Fleet. The Atlantic Fleet was responsible for overall operations in the Atlantic, while the 2nd Fleet focused on the North Atlantic and the protection of shipping routes. The 3rd Fleet operated mainly in the Pacific but also had a role in supporting operations that affected the Atlantic. The coordination among these fleets was crucial for the Allies' success in the Atlantic theater.

During World War II, the U.S. Navy operated five primary fleets: the Atlantic Fleet, the Pacific Fleet, the Asiatic Fleet, the Mediterranean Fleet, and the Seventh Fleet. The Atlantic and Pacific Fleets were the largest and most significant, with the Pacific Fleet being crucial in the war against Japan. These fleets played vital roles in various major battles and operations throughout the conflict.
Admiral John Tovey was the Admiral of the Fleet in the Atlantic during World War 2. He served in the Royal Navy. He retired after the war ended. Admiral Ernest J. King was assigned Fleet Commander of the Fleet for the United States once the US entered the war. They did not have one Admiral to control the fleets of the Allies as they did for the land forces.

Admiral Husband E. Kimmel was in command of the American Pacific Fleet during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. He was responsible for the fleet's readiness and operations at the time of the surprise attack by Japanese forces. The attack resulted in significant losses and prompted the United States to enter World War II. Kimmel faced criticism for the perceived lack of preparedness and intelligence prior to the attack.
