US Commander Atlantic Fleet?

[synthesim]

I Googled and could not seem to find the title of the US Commander of the Atlantic Fleet.
Who or what would be the designation for the man in charge of the entire Atlantic Naval Fleet in WWII?
Like, for Commander, Naval Air Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, it's (aka COMNAVAIRLANT, AIRLANT, CNAL).
But that's for the Naval Air Force.
How would you designate the Commander for the entire Atlantic Naval Fleet in this all-caps style abbreviation,
and also what would be the full title, please?
I wish to thank everyone for your answers in the past. This is a great forum.
You people sure know your stuff.

Looking ata;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Sta ... es_Command
it states:

Rear Admiral Royal E. Ingersoll was designated, with the rank of Vice Admiral, to relieve him as Commander-in-Chief, Atlantic Fleet.[6] He took command on 1 January 1942, and was advanced to the rank of Admiral on 1 July 1942. To carry out this mission and other tasks CinCLant had in the meantime been reorganized, as of 1 March 1941,

Which leads to this page:

Commander, U.S. Atlantic Fleet (COMLANTFLT)
Commander, Fleet Forces Command (CFFC)
Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic (CINCLATFLT)
Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic (SACLANT)

History indicates a continuous use of the title "Commander in Chief, Atlantic Fleet" from 1906 until 1923 and again from 1941 to the present. In a reorganization of the United States Fleet in 1923, that title was abolished and the title Commander Scouting Force was used. On 1 February 1941, General Order 143 reestablished the title and reorganized the United States Fleet into three separate fleets (Atlantic, Pacific and Asiatic). The Order further stated each fleet would be under the command of a full admiral. Thus, on 1 February 1941, Rear Admiral Ernest J. King, in his flagship USS TEXAS (BB 35) at Culebra, Puerto Rico, hauled down his two-star flag and hoisted his four-star flag as Commander in Chief, United States Atlantic Fleet.

From April 1941 to April 1948, four flagships served as Headquarters for the Commander in Chief: USS AUGUSTA (CA 31) from April 1941 to January 1942; the historic spar-decked corvette/sloop USS CONSTELLATION (launched in 1855) from January 1942 to August 1942; USS VIXEN (PG 53) from August 1942 to May 1946; and USS POCONO (AGC 16) from May 1946 to April 1948. On 5 April 1948, the Headquarters moved ashore into spaces of the former U.S. Navy Hospital, Norfolk, where it has remained.

After the end of World War II, the organization of the United States Armed Forces was reviewed with a view toward reorganization after the turbulent war years. On 1 December 1947, under a reorganization act of the Armed Forces approved by Congress, the unified United States Atlantic Command was established, with headquarters colocated to those of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. Thus Admiral William H.P. Blandy, USN, the Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, became the first Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Command, a title that remained dual-hatted (and would later become triple-hatted) until another reorganization of the Armed Forces in 1985 (the Goldwater-Nichols Act) separated the U.S. Atlantic Command from the U.S. Atlantic Fleet.

There's nothing like an adminstrative structure whose members cannot resist the temptation to create some silly acronym for almost everything within their purview!


Damn, I hate NAVSPEAK!

Your reply is 'navspeak' for NAVSPEAK.^^
A recursion of meta-navspeak.
"Navspeak is 'navspeak' for NAVSPEAK."
It's funnier when it's just officious.
