Augusta (ca. 1935)
Die United States Asiatic Fleet war ein Verband der amerikanischen Kriegsmarine von 1902 bis 1942.
Die Asienflotte entstand 1902 aus dem US-Asiengeschwader. Von 1907 bis 1910 war der Verband das Erste Geschwader der US-Pazifikflotte, danach wurde er wieder von der Pazifikflotte unabhängig.
Die Asienflotte war bis zum Zweiten Weltkrieg hauptsächlich für den Schutz der Philippinen zuständig, welche damals eine Kolonie der Vereinigten Staaten waren.
