The Naval History and Heritage Command published this history to
enhance our understanding of the pivotal role played by the U.S.
Seventh Fleet in the Western Pacific from World War II through
2010. This project is in keeping with the Command's ongoing efforts
to provide naval personnel with historical information and analysis
that directly support their global mission. No naval command has
done more than the Seventh Fleet to defend and promote American
interests in Asia. This "fighting fleet" was in the forefront of
U.S. forces involved in the Pacific campaigns of World War II and
the conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, and the Arabian Gulf. In the last
half of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century,
the Seventh Fleet has stood as a bulwark against aggression and
partnered with America's Asian allies to maintain peace and
stability in this vital region. Whether combating conventional
forces, guerrillas, insurgents, pirates, or terrorists, Seventh
Fleet Sailors have routinely displayed exceptional courage and
dedication, serving also as ambassadors for America's core values
of freedom, democracy, free market enterprise, and respect for
human rights.
