When you intend to impress (whether some characters by some other character, or your audience as the author), if it is a military or some other powerful organization, the display of power is usually based upon personnel's numbers. This is the basis of Million Mook March. Million Mook March tends to concern infantry. However, as it happens, such a display is not restricted to footsoldiers. If it is some kind of fleet you want to show, you can just as much make them run in squadrons, and the additional benefit is that in opposition to common soldiers, even a lone ship is likely to impress, either with her guns, or herself. Thus, Flaunting Your Fleets is a scene made of exceptional display of power, usually (though not a necessity) military, inducing Squee in any closet militarist, often in form of squadrons upon squadrons, on the march or standing down, of starships, seaships, airships, airplanes or whatever else rocks your boat. While Million Mook March is often invoked by characters in story, it is more likely for Flaunting Your Fleets to be directed straight towards the viewer. Works both in picture and in writing. In the former, it often uses a camera trick where the camera's changing field gradually shows more and more items (see Troy in the Film examples section). In the latter, it tends to assume the form of Description Porn, often together with a Long List of unit numbers and names and giving descriptions of individual vessels or ship types, thus blurring the division between straight description of the fleet as whole and Technology Porn of its constituents (see The Iliad, on which Troy was based). A close cousin to Technology Porn and Gun Porn, and Million Mook March may be considered a subtrope. Gunboat Diplomacy seeks to invoke this consciously. |

In Mission of Honor, Honor shows up in the Haven system with 48 superdreadnoughts, 6 LAC carriers, a dozen battlecruisers, twenty destroyers, a dozen ammunition freighters, and her personal yacht, to negotiate a peace treaty. It happens in the first novel On Basilisk Station after Honor prevents a Havenite ship from alerting its fleet that their plan to seize the Basilisk system had been botched. When the small Havenite fleet assigned to the mission arrives, they find Manticore's entire Home Fleet, the most powerful grouping of warships in that particular region of inhabited space, in the system for "surprise exercises". The visitors decide that their "courtesy visit" should be very brief. |

Sonic Heroes onwards introduces the Egg/Eggman Fleet, a huge armada of battleships that would make the Republic and Imperial Navies look like wusses in terms of firepower, though the first time it’s deployed, it’s not Eggman himself who’s leading the fleet since he’s imprisoned by Metal Sonic, who stole his identity and only used the fleet to copy the data of the four teams (Sonic, Rose, Dark, and Chaotix), as well as Chaos’s data in a plan to defeat the Blue Blur and become the “real” Sonic. | |

part of the tutorial for EVE Online, after you alone survive an enemy attack, you get to fly around in an area with a huge retaliation fleet of the empire you selected ready to form up. Some trailers have really big ones for each of the 4 Empires as well, including dozens of Titans. Downplayed in that these fleets probably wouldn't win a battle against a large coalition fleet, and their formation, all ships on a 2D grid, would be awful to fight with. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had a few scenes like this, especially in the later seasons when the crew found themselves up against either Klingons (early in season 4), or the combined fleets of the Dominion, Cardasians, and Breen after that. The Federation also had large shows of force, which was very odd as it was lightly implied before had that the Federation did not have thousands of vessels. (For example, the battle at Wolf 359 from TNG only had about 40 ships, and Riker's line at the end of the episode, "The fleet should be back up and running within a year," seems to imply that those 40-odd ships were the MAJORITY of Star Fleet's armada!) It actually implied that Starfleet can produce ~40 ships in less than a year. In-universe, Starfleet decided to Take a Level in Badass after the pounding they took at Wolf 359, so the fleet got bigger. Considering average Federation ship has lifespan of some 80 - 100 years, as evidenced by Miranda and Constitution classes... Another factor beefing up Starfleet's ship count is the fact that the Starfleet Corps of Engineers are an in-universe cross between MacGyver and Memetic Badass. A Vorta (one of the enemy leaders in the series) claims that a Starfleet engineer "can turn rocks into replicators". Between that and the fairly diverse range of ships seen in Federation fleets, it becomes fairly obvious that Starfleet is basically repurposing everything it can get its hands on and sending it into battle. It was obvious before that as Starfleet was set up as science and exploration service, not a military branch. This has lead some fans to conclude that Starfleet Ships might not have the best weapons of any fleet, but the best sensors of any war ship. There is a lot of advantage to seeing an enemy ship before it can see you, to see nothing about using the superior elint game to cause the enemy to miss targets while at the same time find the one area on the ship that the enemy doesn't want to be hit, and striking it with a well placed phaser. |

In Mass Effect 3 when the united fleets of the Alliance, Turians and whatever else Shepard has gathered take the fight back to Earth.

A viable tactic in Galactic Civilizations. Park a whole bunch of powerful military ships on your border, and your neighbor is not going to attack without a big numerical or technological advantage. On the other hand, the AI can get suspicious and trigger-happy if your "demonstration" gets too close to its territory. In the third game, having a large military force nearby even slightly generates Influence in the area, making nearby colonies held by a rival civ more likely to rebel and defect. The AI has also picked up on the idea of parking some of its forces in your territory as a show of intimidation: you can ask it diplomatically to remove its forces from your area, and if it's on good terms with you it might even do that, but it will negatively affect your relations slightly. | |

BattleTech: Clan Snow Raven likes this trope, in part because at the end of the Jihad Era (3080 onward), they're the only faction in the game that still has enough warships to make an actual fleet and showing it off is a great way to convince everyone else not to mess with them. | |

England in Diplomacy will tend towards having many fleets in order to dominate the waters of the northwestern half of the board. This is pretty much a necessity in order for England to grow since it has an Island Base of Great Britain to start with — an England that doesn't rule the Atlantic waves is probably going to find itself taken out by France, Germany, and/or Russia. To a lesser extent Italy and Turkey tend to do something similar in the Mediterranean due to their positions bordering more water spaces. | |

A little less than halfway through Fury (2014), the soldiers look up as a fleet of bombers fly overhead. It looks like half of the sky is filled with airplanes, the noise of engines is still slightly audible down on the ground, and it's not even presented as being an extraordinary sight or situation. It's a reminder of the enormous scale of the war (as the film otherwise focuses very tightly on the five man crew of a single tank), and it hammers home how absurdly overwhelmed the Germans are at this point in the war when a pitiful handful of five German fighters are shown moving to intercept the hundreds of American fighters and bombers. | |

In Space Battleship Yamato 2199, the Gamilas Empire holds a Fleet Review at a Portal Network hub after Desler's presumed death, which Field Marshall Zoellick uses as a platform to seize power for himself. The Yamato coincidentally enters the hub en route to the Large Magellanic Cloud and explosions ensue. This comes back to bite the Gamilas big time especially funny since Desler allowed it to happen to ferret out the conspirators against him: The Yamato manages to catch the last portal out before the hub blows up. This leaves most of Gamilas vast fleet to crawl back home without the portals... and unable to catch up to the Yamato before it reaches their capital planet. |

Space Battleship Yamato 2202: Earth's Wave-Motion Fleet that they built using a Dimensional Time Fault to kit out Earth with tens of thousands of both Andromeda-Class and Dreadnought-Class Vessels all equipped with Wave-Motion Guns in just a few days time. The pure awesome sight of thousands and thousands of UNCF Ships warping in around Saturn to do battle against the invading Gatlantis Armada is a sight to behold; for once Gatlantis is now the ones that are Outnumbered and Outgunned. | |

The first actual scene of the Legend of the Galactic Heroes main series after the opening narration depicts the 20,000-strong Galactic Empire fleet under the command of Reinhard von Lohengramm. This was later matched by a similar close-up on the fleets of his opponent, the Free Planets Alliance. | |

Andromeda: Ever wonder why The Commonwealth's warships, specifically High Guard warships, look so sleek and fragile? This is why. The Vedrans built their ships like that just because they can and no one else had the technology to do so, even before The Fall of The Commonwealth. | |

In Infinite Space. Elgava dispatches five thousand ships to impress the approaching Lugovalians, but fail because the other fleet had over a hundred thousand ships. Later in the game, Libertas holds a fleet review as part of maneuvering to consolidate control over the Galactic Federation. | |

Another factor beefing up Starfleet's ship count is the fact that the Starfleet Corps of Engineers are an in-universe cross between MacGyver and Memetic Badass. A Vorta (one of the enemy leaders in the series) claims that a Starfleet engineer "can turn rocks into replicators". Between that and the fairly diverse range of ships seen in Federation fleets, it becomes fairly obvious that Starfleet is basically repurposing everything it can get its hands on and sending it into battle. | |

Occurs in Babylon 5, right after Sheridan liberates Earth from the Clarke regime. After Delenn announces the formation of the Interstellar Alliance, the Rangers fly their White Stars in formation over Earth Dome, pounding the point home. Major fleet actions, such as the assembly of Babylon 5 vessels attacking the siege line at Proxima, tend to have long, dramatic pans across the massing ships and huge quantities of Starfuries and other fighters. The Battle of Coriana at the end of the Vorlon-Shadow War has at least four - one when the Alliance fleet leaves B5, one each when the Vorlons and Shadows arrive on the scene, and one showing the huge fleet huddling close to White Star One to protect it from the Shadow Planet Killer. The Babylon 5 card game has a military conflict called "show the colours", which is basically a free-for-all for all the players to show off how big and impressive their respective fleets are — the winner gains 2 influence, while the losers lose absolutely nothing. Unlike most military conflicts, no actual hostile actions are taken against other factions and nobody can attack other participants unless they already are at war. There was also the heavily foreshadowed flyby of the Imperial Palace on Centauri Prime. |

In Fractured (SovereignGFC), a Mass Effect/Star Wars/Borderlands crossover, the Trans-Galactic Republic engages in this. After batarians destroy a ship that is accidentally shot to a neighboring galaxy (where Mass Effect takes place), the response is to send a Star Dreadnaught and thirty-six escorts (of the type of ship that was destroyed). Though the Trans-Galactic Republic is generally peaceful at this point, the implication is "If you do that again, we will end you."note The batarians destroyed a single Star Destroyer... from a galaxy that clearly has tens of thousands of such ships. | |
