Far East Squadron
The French Far East Squadron ((フランス語:escadre de l'Extrême-Orient)) was an exceptional naval grouping created for the duration of the Sino-French War (August 1884 – April 1885).
== Background ==
In 1882 French interests in the Far East were protected by two naval divisions, the Cochinchina naval division (based at Saigon) and the Far East naval division (based at Yokohama). The Cochinchina naval division (''division navale de Cochinchine'') was responsible for monitoring coastal navigation between Singapore and the Hainan Strait and along the rivers of Cochinchina and Cambodia, while the Far East naval division (''division navale de l'Extrême-Orient'') policed the China Coast and the seas around China and Japan.〔The Far East naval division was also known as the China and Japan Seas naval division (''division navale des mers de Chine et du Japon'').〕
Henri Rivière's intervention in Tonkin in April 1882 was made with vessels of the Cochinchina naval division. As France increased its commitment in Tonkin after Rivière's defeat and death at the Battle of Paper Bridge, a naval division was created at the end of May 1883 to patrol the Gulf of Tonkin. Command of this new Tonkin Coasts naval division (''division navale des côtes du Tonkin'') was given to Admiral Amédée Courbet.〔Loir, 6–10〕 A Tonkin Flotilla (''flotille de Tonkin''), consisting of a number of despatch vessels and gunboats, was also created for inland operations in the summer of 1883, and placed under the command of ''général de brigade'' Alexandre-Eugène Bouët (1833–87), the French ''commandant supérieur'' in Tonkin.
