The Second Fleet was a numbered fleet in the United Federation of Planets Starfleet that was deployed during at least the 22nd, 23rd and 24th centuries. The Second Fleet was one of many that saw extensive action during the Dominion War.

The Second Fleet would eventually be deployed to the Kotanka system, where it was engaged by Dominion forces. Elements of the fleet were then reassigned to Starbase 375, where it joined the Fifth Fleet in preparation for Operation Return. (DS9: "Favor the Bold")

En route to Deep Space 9 the combined Federation fleet was engaged by a larger Dominion force. The fleet managed to successful break through the Dominion lines, thanks to the late, but timely arrive of Klingon reinforcements to the battle. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels")

In late 2374, the Second Fleet launched a number of attacks on the Dominion forces occupying Betazed. (DS9: "The Sound of Her Voice")

The Second's commander-in-chief, in 2375, was Admiral Richard Monroe, whose office was at Starbase 17. (Star Trek: Laughing Sawfish: "Moving the Pawns") By 2377-78, Fleet Admiral W. Summers had become the Second's fleet commander. (Ships of the Star Fleet, Vol. 4: Star Fleet Operating Forces. )

In 2381, during the short conflict between the Romulan Empire and the Federation, Romulan forces broke through the lines and attacked the fourth planet in the Gamma Hydrae system, They then landed troops to occupy the colony there. Starfleet soon retaliated by sending two Marine Expeditionary Brigades, and the entire Second Fleet to retake the planet.(Star Trek: New Order: ...The Hardest Part)

Circa 2385, Rear Admiral Sasha Cruz was commanding officer of the Second. (Starfleet Command (RPG))

In 2409, the Second Fleet was deployed near the Klingon and Romulan borders. Task Force 17 engaged a Klingon carrier group. (RIS Bouteina: "Quantic Fissure")
