Starfleet Second Fleet

The Second Fleet was a Federation fleet that saw extensive action during the Dominion War.

Early in the war the Dominion pushed the Second Fleet back from their pre-war deployment. The fleet was redeployed to a system close to a nebula, which interfere with sensors and communications. The fleet patrolled the nebula to watch for Dominion forces sneaking through. However the communication problems caused by the nebula meant the Dominion was able to covertly destroy the patrols and deploy a force within the nebula. They then launched a frontal assault that drew out the Second Fleet and allowed the hidden Dominion force to attack from the rear. Only the arrival of the Sixteenth Fleet saved the situation and allowed the Second to barely hold its line. (: "Over the Horizon")

The Second Fleet would eventually be deployed to the Kotanka system, where it was engaged by Dominion forces. Elements of the fleet were then reassigned to Starbase 375, where it joined the Fifth Fleet in preparation for Operation Return. 

En route to Deep Space 9 the combined Federation fleet was engaged by a larger Dominion force. The fleet managed to successful break through the Dominion lines, thanks to the late, but timely arrive of Klingon reinforcements to the battle. (: "Rode the 600")

In late 2374, the Second Fleet launched a number of attacks on the Dominion forces occupying Betazed.
