The Starfleet 2nd Fleet was a military unit, a fleet group of the Federation Starfleet.
In the 2260s, the 2nd Fleet was directed by an admiral from a command center on Earth. Fleet vehicles included at least four atmospherically-capable strike fighters which were armed with torpedoes and nucron missiles. The fleet saw action when the USS Enterprise was on the edge of sector H-100, during a crisis when a metal mob robot was taken over by an incorporeal being. It sent a signed message from James T. Kirk to Starfleet Command requesting that the Enterprise be destroyed, then sabotaged communications. Starfleet deployed four fighters, including FS100 (flown by Commander Harvey), SF101 and SF102. The Tigers were able to inflict significant damage during its first pass, before the Enterprise's shields could be raised. (TOS comic: "Thorpex")
The Second fleet was active during the Dominion War. In 2374's Operation Return, the 2nd Fleet was teamed with the 5th Fleet in a victorious effort to retake Deep Space 9. As he assembled his fleets in preparation, Sisko caught the notice of Dominion strategists when he withdrew the 2nd Fleet back through the Kotanka system. The 2nd Fleet later made three separate failed attempts to liberate Betazed.
