国民党海军是在清末残存海军的基础上建立起来的。民国初年军阀混战时期,中国海军分裂成为闽、粤、东北三大派系。闽系海军原是北洋军阀政府的中央海军,易帜后成为民国政府的中央海军。蒋介石统一全国后,便试图打破闽系一统海军的局面,以便由他分而治之。1929年他召开编遣会议,将闽系编为第一、第二舰队,东北系编为第三舰队,粵系编为第四舰队, The Kuomintang Navy was established on the basis of the remnants of the navy in the late Qing Dynasty. In the early days of the warlords, the Chinese navy split into three factions: Fujian, Guangdong and Northeast China. The former Fujian navy was the central navy of the Beiyang warlord government and later became the Central Navy of the Republic of China government. After Chiang Kai-shek unified the country, he tried to break the situation of a unified naval force in Fujian so that he could be divided and controlled by him. In 1929 he held a preparatory meeting to compile the Fujian Department as the first and second fleets, the Northeast Division as the Third Fleet, the Guangdong Department as the Fourth Fleet,
