This means the idea exists. The problem with an explicit canon fleet is that there will never be many ships in it, and it will therefore be small, which doesn't make much sense from a naval organizational standpoint. What we did instead is lower the criteria to encompass ships that have a decent shot. So they don't have to be official pairings in-show, just have significant canonical support. Of those, the official ships are attached to an actual expeditionary group, which is basically the canon fleet idea, writ-small.
