The Cinque Ports Fleet was the a temporary formation of ships supplied to the crown from the Confederation of the Cinque Ports for particular naval expeditions during particular campaigns of the Kingdom of England from 1260 to 1558.

It was one of two naval forces that could be drawn upon by the Monarch of England during times of crisis during Middle Ages.

The cinque port fleet was not owned by the King therefore he had to avail of the services of the cinque ports in return for payment.

However it was regarded as the primary Royal Fleet of maritime England until at least the beginning of the 15th century.

[2] In addition there was a second smaller naval force available to the monarch consisting of ships directly owned by him known as the King's Ships or the Royal Squadron.
