Acoording to a former naval contact of mine, the 5th fleet was operational
in WWII, and was decommissioned along with demobilization around 1946.

It appears now that 1st fleet will be re-established in San Diego, and
3rd fleet will be decommisioned.

Info on even numbers being LANT flt and odd numbers being PACFLT appears
correct.
