"In order to improve our posture in the Indo-Pacific we will reconstitute the 1st Fleet, assigning it primary responsibility for the Indo and South Asian region as an expeditionary fleet," Mr Braithwaite told the US Senate's Armed Services Committee.
布雷思韋特告訴美國參議院武裝部隊委員會：“為了改善我們在印度太平洋的地位，我們將重構第一艦隊; 作為一支遠征艦隊，主要負責印度和南亞地區。”
"The 1st Fleet would be expeditionary. We are still determining from where that fleet would operate," he said.
他說：“第一艦隊將是遠征隊,我們仍在決定該艦隊將從何處行動。”
The reorganisation would involve a shift in naval forces with many of the ships and personnel likely to come from the 7th Fleet operating out of Japan.
此項重組將涉及海軍力量的轉移，其中許多船艦和人員可能來自在日本外海運作的第七艦隊。
