Well..., since you asked...
The space fleets of 2097 are similar to fleets on earth in 1997. Each fleet would be based around a carrier battlegroup.
One heavy carrier,(w one space wing, incl 80 various craft) crew 5000,
One medium carriers,(w transport, special craft for assault, incl 60 various craft)
Three cruisers crew 358 ea, lasers
Five destroyers crew 339 ea, lasers, torpedoes
Six patrol boats ea w crew 24, & 14 seals
One multipurpose assault ship, crew 900 & 2000 marines, plus transports 3 large, 30 small, & 30 assault craft
Two spacedock repair ship ea crew 400
Two fast supply ships ea crew 600
Two mine countermeasures ships crew 80
All fleet ships have kinetic kill guns, numbers vary but two types: 155mm kem (60 rds/min),
and 30mm EMChem (2000 rds/min)
__________________________________________________
23 ships, 203 tactical craft, 20000 sailors, marines, etc.
Several Fleets because it takes time to deploy
1st Fleet: Space within orbit of Mars
home port on Phobos/VM Northside (main base/surface facility)
2nd Fleet: Space between Mars and Jupiter, incl Jupiter
home port on Europa
3rd Fleet: Space beyond Jupiter*(3rd Fleet has two heavy carriers, six cruisers, eight destroyers and ten patrol boats, otherwise standard fleet makeup. Frequently divides into inward, outward fleets)
home ports: inward on Titan, outward on Oberon.
*in a practical sense however, there is no fleet presence beyond Neptune
The fleets exist to protect Earth interests and thereby the interests of humanity in general.
