[SIZE=5]Marine Nationale Order of Battle, July 1st, 1943[/SIZE]

The Marine Nationale is divided into three major and one minor fleet organizations based on geography: the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Pacific Fleets, and the Indian Ocean Flotilla. Another strategic-level command, the Force d'Action Navale, is assigned to a geographical command by order of the Commander-in-Chief. For various reasons, the Pacific Fleet is subdivided into two divisions, East and West, each incorporating a defined overall operations area, although both exist under the same overall command.

Major units of the Navy are deployed as follows:

Marine Nationale Order of Battle, July 1st, 1944
The Marine Nationale is divided into three major and one minor fleet organizations based on geography: the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Pacific Fleets, and the Indian Ocean Flotilla. Another strategic-level command, the Force d'Action Navale, is assigned to a geographical command by order of the Commander-in-Chief. For various reasons, the Pacific Fleet is subdivided into two divisions, East and West, each incorporating a defined overall operations area, although both exist under the same overall command.

Major units of the Navy are deployed as follows:
