A fleet review is a traditional gathering of ships from a particular navy to be observed by the reigning monarch or his or her representative, a practice allegedly dating back to the 15th century. Such an event is not held at regular intervals and originally only occurred when the fleet was mobilised for war or for a show of strength to discourage potential enemies. However, since the 19th century, they have often been held for the coronation or for special royal jubilees and increasingly included delegates from other national navies. ==Australia== Australia has a history of Fleet Reviews, the last Fleet Review took place in Australia in October 2013. * Port Phillip royal review, 1921 - Reviewed by Prince Edward, Prince of Wales. * Royal Australian Navy 25th birthday review, 1936 * 50th Year Review, 1961 * The 75th fleet review, 1986 - Led by USS ''Missouri'', the fleet was reviewed by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. * Bicentennial naval salute, 1988 - Led by USS ''New Jersey'' * Centennial naval review 2001 - Cancelled due to terrorist attacks in the United States. * Sydney freedom of entry review, 14 March 2009 - The fleet review also consisted of a freedom of entry parade in Sydney; the fleet was reviewed by Marie Bashir, Governor of New South Wales, and the parade by Quentin Bryce, Governor-General of Australia. * International fleet review, 4–5 October 2013 - to commemorate the centenary of the Royal Australian Navy's fleet arrival in Sydney Harbour;〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=RAN IFR 2013 )〕 led by HMAS ''Sydney'', the fleet was reviewed by Governor-General Quentin Bryce and Prince Harry, who took the royal salute on board HMAS ''Leeuwin''.
