The current fleet name will be overwritten with the saved name.
Girls in the docks can be deployed.
If a girl in the preset is no longer part of the forces, "Decommissioned Ship" (除籍艦) will be displayed in her place.

To change the name of the fleet, just type a new name into the text box and clicking the "Edit" (編集) button.

Do note that using a 3rd party viewer/app may result in the menu being difficult to type in. If it is the case, either use the said viewer/app's own system, or simply paste a pre-copied text directly.
