Which area does the 2nd Fleet cover?

• A. Eastern and North Pacific Ocean areas including the Bearing Sea, Alaska, the Aleutian Islands, and a sector of the Arctic. US West Coast.
• B. North Atlantic Ocean and East Coast, from the North Pole to the Caribbean and from the US shores to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
• C. Caribbean, Central and South America.
• D. Persian Gulf, Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and parts of the Indian Ocean.

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is understanding the area of responsibility for the Navy’s numbered fleets. The Second Fleet is designated for the North Atlantic region, covering the area from the Arctic through the North Atlantic to the Caribbean, and out to roughly the middle of the Atlantic from the U.S. East Coast. That description matches the option stating the North Atlantic Ocean and East Coast, from the North Pole to the Caribbean and from the U.S. shores to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Think of how the fleets are split: other options describe regions assigned to different fleets—Pacific/Arctic areas for a Pacific fleet, Caribbean and Central/South America for a separate fleet, and the Persian Gulf/Red Sea/Indian Ocean for another.
