“ | The Global Allied Fleet. Nearly all of the largest cannons that exist on the planet have been gathered here, in one place. Every bit of human brainpower now has its sights fixed on the same target. It took a miracle to assemble this fleet, and if we fail. Then humanity has nothing on this world that could stop this. This Rumbling. | „ |
~ The Commander of the Global Allied Fleet summing up the general situation surrounding the Global Allied Fleet. |
The Global Allied Fleet is an organization in the manga and anime Attack on Titan. It Is an armada of humanity's strongest warships, which originated from numerous different nations that became a part of the Global Alliance, led by the nation of Marley. The overall responsibility of the Fleet is to act as humanity's last collective defense against the Rumbling.
Duty[]
Although its unknown if the Fleet would have had a role in the “Scorched Earth Operation” inflicted on Paradis Island, or if it was already decided to be put together even before the Rumbling occurred. The general duty would eventually be to prevent Eren Yeager’s Colossal Titans from reaching the Marleyan continental mainland. They would try to accomplish this by using a firing line of warships that would shoots shells at the incoming Wall Titans swimming towards them underwater.
Qualities[]
The Fleet originates from different nations who all have their own separate branches towards militaristic technology, but it's assumed that each ship has high destruction capabilities, considering the fact that all of humanities strongest warships were said to be present within the armada. The Fleet has many different kinds of warships to be used against the Rumbling, but the majority of the ships appear to be early 20th century styled dreadnoughts that have great fire potential, presumably consisting of 125 mm/51 cannons. It’s also assumed that there were thousands of soldiers on the ships, considering their numbers.
Story[]
Marley Arc[]
When the Global Alliance was formed after the raid on Liberio, it’s unknown if the military leaders from around the world were already planning on putting together the Global Fleet. If this was the case, the Fleet would presumably have had a part in the abandoned “Scorched Earth Operation” which would destroy Paradis Island. Nevertheless, Zeke and Yelena expected any nations that might have joined Marley's campaign to gather a naval fleet, and that it would have been used to oppose Paradis is some capacity.
The general role of the Global Fleet would officially be put into motion after the devastating result of the failed Marleyan raid on Shiganshina.
War for Paradis Arc[]
After Eren Yeager successfully took control of the Founding Titan, he activated the Rumbling, causing all the Titans inside the Walls of Paradis Island to start marching towards the outside world in order to completely wipe out all terrestrial life on the rest of the planet.
The leaders of the world had to very quickly start mobilizing their navy troops to where the Wall Titan were headed, which was to the north-eastern coast of Marley to the military base in the city of Karifa. How they were capable of getting they’re in time was said to be a “miracle”, especially considering that many ships came from completely different continents. It can be assumed that when Eren Yeager gave a telepathic message to all Subjects of Ymir, most of the Eldians who lived in numerous internment camps across the world alerted their authorities in time, chiefly the Tyburs in Marley, causing them to be aware of the Rumbling in time. After all warships were placed near the shores of Karifa, all soldiers look on as they witness a large steam cloud on the ocean surface coming for them in the distance, with the Wall Titans swimming underwater who formed said cloud. All the soldiers are notably nervous, knowing the responsibility put on their shoulders by the rest of the world which they know will be annihilated if they fail in this mission.
When the steam cloud reaches the fleet’s area of fire. The Commander shouts the order and all warships begin shooting towards the steam cloud. Numerous shells hit the swimming Wall Titans as they are broken apart from the explosions. When the explosions go out and things seem quiet, everyone is immediately shocked when they witness the Wall Titans continuing to advance. They continue shooting projectiles at the Titans but the overwhelming number of them makes the entire counterattack seem futile. The steam cloud draws closer and closer until the Wall Titans finally pass the warships, including the one where the Commander is on. He looks on as the steam cloud envelops him and the rest of the soldiers, he alongside all other soldiers from the world’s Fleet are brutally yet swiftly scorched to death as the extreme heat of the steam burns them to the bone. When all Wall Titans successfully reached the shore. The steam started to develop under the ships, causing them to be flown up in the air from the pressure. The ships then come raining down and explode in the water on impact.
Aftermath[]
Following the Rumbling and the remaining tensions between humanity and the population of Paradis Island, it is unknown whether the Global Alliance, which now controls the world, ever revived some sort a new united global fleet throughout the following years.
