Default Fleet Naming Strategies

I'm bringing my new Terror-class
Super Dreadnoughts (1,250kt) Online, in
limited rate production.

Even my new Inflexible-class
Battleships(800kt), outgun them. The
Terrors are mainly command ships for
each fleet, containing within 3,000 shield
points, 6,000 extra supplies for the fleet
(plus the SDNs reserved 2,000 supplies), and
a Repair Yard.

With the new ships coming Online, I've begun
to rationalize my fleets.

The Standard Fleet will contain:

1 Terror Class Command ship
2 Inflexible Class Battleships
5 Type IIF Light Cruisers (the 2nd ship
I built in this game, 6th retrofit -
Type I was a Frigate)

I name these fleets numerically,
such as 1st fleet, 2nd fleet, etc.

But now, when a fleet gains experience, I
rename it as a Guards fleet,
ex: 1st Guards Fleet, making it easy
for me to remember which fleets to keep,
and which are just temporary.

I only have one other fleet type, and
that's the MEU, or Marine
Expeditionary Unit.

MEUs contain:

1 Terror Command Ship
1 Carrier
2 Battleships
5 Light Cruisers
1 Mine/Sat Layer
2 Transports
