The Bering Sea Squadron was a combined American and British naval station formed and disbanded in 1891 to suppress seal poaching in the Bering Sea. Eleven vessels were assigned to the squadron including eight United States Navy and Revenue Cutter Service ships plus three from the Royal Navy.〔Harry Allanson Ellsworth, pg. 14-15〕 ==Anti-Poaching Operations== (詳細はsealing in the Bering Sea in 1891 due to the near extinction of the animals so that year Commander Charles S. Cotton of the American navy was ordered to lead a force of two sloops, USS ''Mohican'' and USS ''Marion'', two steamers, USS ''Thetis'' and SS ''Al-Ki'', plus the gunboats USS ''Alert'' and USS ''Ranger'' to operate against poachers. The revenue cutters USRC ''Rush'' and USRC ''Corwin'' were also placed under Cotton's command. British forces sent the cruiser HMS ''Porpoise'', the screw sloop HMS ''Nymphe'' and the steamer HMS ''Pheasant''. From the beginning of the operation on June 22, 1891 to its end on October 5, American and British marines boarded and expelled dozens of merchant vessels mainly around the Aleutian Islands though only four schooners were found to be hunting seals illegally. Two of these vessels were taken over by marines and towed over 1,200 miles by the ''Al-Ki'' to Sitka, the other two were taken into British custody and sent to Asia.〔Harry Allanson Ellsworth, pg. 14-15〕
