Naval Forces Korea, Naval Forces Japan and Naval Forces, Marianas are not considered major commands even though they are shore commands for the 7th Fleet area of responsibility. All three shore commands and the 7th Fleet fall under as subcomponents of the United States Pacific Fleet which is a major naval command do they not?. They should probably be integreated into the United States Pacific Fleet. Neovu79 (talk) 05:27, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

What is your source for stating "they are not considered major commands"? The naval shore forces have very unique powers that make them different from, say, a naval base or a regular naval unit like a construction battalion or an inshore boat unit. The most imporrtant of which is automatically granted SOPA status to any ship docked in thier area...no other unit in the United States Navy is granted that power. My background on this is 13 years in the Navy, 6 of which was sent as a flag aide and staff officer in CNFK. -OberRanks (talk) 13:09, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

The original edit had these commands in their own section of the navbox; they were later folded back into "major commands". I do agree that this should not be how its listed. They should fall under thier own section to the unique nature of naval shore commands. -OberRanks (talk) 13:13, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Proposed revision

Here is the revision with the shore force commands added in:

I added it here rather than have an edit war since we have disagreement about that status of the shore force commands. -OberRanks (talk) 13:23, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

As a compromise, I added in links for these connected in the United States Pacific Fleet article. It seems that might be some merit to keeping these out of box since this is a "Pacific only" thing. My knowledge of the Europe naval operations is limited, but they dont appear to have an equivalent. If that meets with everyone's approval, we can just let this one go. -OberRanks (talk) 13:36, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
