The Imperial Grand Fleet is the main surface fleet of the Vionna-Frankenlischian Imperial Navy. Formed in 1904 from the 1st and 2nd Home Fleets, the Grand Fleet began as an amalgamation of the best home-based squadrons of the Imperial Navy into one large battlefleet. Traditionally comprising the majority of Vionna-Frankenlisch's surface fleet, the Grand Fleet has often been considered the strongest naval formation in the world.

Divided into nine squadrons with a total of forty-six ships, the Grand Fleet comprises about half of the Imperial Navy's warships.
