ComCruDesGru Five

**Commander Cruiser-Destroyer Group Five (ComCruDesGru Five)** was a United States Navy formation established during the Cold War era. Activated in the late 1960s, the group was tasked with commanding and coordinating the operations of assigned cruisers and destroyers in the Pacific Fleet. ComCruDesGru Five played a pivotal role in carrier strike group operations, participating in major exercises and deployments, including those in the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans. The unit remained active through the late 20th century, adapting to evolving naval warfare requirements until it was eventually redesignated as part of broader Navy organizational changes.
