Nearly a year after being stood up as the Navy's component in the Department of Defense's (DoD's) cyber warfare arsenal, Fleet Cyber Command and U.S. Tenth Fleet is finally "walking upright" in its crawl-walk-run approach. But command officials are still trying to achieve the first task: understanding the domain in which they're operating. "That's the first piece," said Rear Adm. William Leigher, deputy commander of Fleet Cyber Command and Tenth Fleet. "DoD has called cyberspace a domain. That doesn't mean anyone in the DoD or the Navy really thinks of cyberspace in the same way we think of the maritime domain. It's aligning the way we traditionally have done warfighting through emerging capabilities in cyberspace." It is not the first time the Navy has had a numbered fleet with a different kind of role and make-up than a typical fleet, which is why the service decided to name the new fleet after the old Tenth Fleet, an anti-submarine warfare coordination organization during World War II.

A lot is told here about submarine command and it's integration in today's navy.
