I don't know about that. If you have a fleet of ships, that are all dock in port, it is still a fleet. A sad example of that was the Pacific fleet was not out&about but all anchored at Pearl Harbor (not done any more), but it was still a fleet. If shell fleets were allowed, I would agree that they should be deleted if no ships are in when you hit end turn. But considering the major effect fleet experience has in the game, to lose that benefit all due to a mis-click or brain fart is even worse.

Yeah. If the pacific fleet (including all it's admirals) was destroyed or if all the ships (and admirals) were transfered out of it, the Pacific Fleet would be no more. It would not be some ghost entity floating around waiting for new ships.
