Playing Germany. Mar 1916. I seem to have five 'fleets."

Erleuchtung (is this the same as "Aufklaerungsflotte?")
Indien Flotte
Atlantik Flotte
Ostrasien
Pacifik

Presently these are organized as follows:
Erleuchtung Adm Hipper (3.2.2) in command
1 Main detachment with 10 squadrons in port in Wilhelmshaven
I have put all of my squads with 5 movement into this detachment & it includes 7 DD; BC Moltke (2); BC Derflinger (1); CL Frankfurt (4)
4 separate detachments which are listed as detachments of "Aufklaerungsflotte" but which have Hipper listed as in command.
SS U9 in Elbmuendung
SS U27 in North Sea
DD G41 in Coast of Frise
CL Medusa in North Sea
I had not actually intended for G41 and CL Medusa to move out of port. All of these detachments have the "Port" command shown, and I attempted to attach CL Medusa and DD G41 to the main Erleuchtung detachment unsuccessfullly.

Indien Flotte 1 detachment in Wilhelmshaven with 6 squadrons, all of which are speed 3 or 4- (3 BB squads and 3 B squads).
there is also one Indien detachment CL Konigsberg in East Africa

Atlantik Flotte 1 detachment in Wilhelmshaven with 3 squads, all speed 4- (1CL; 1BB; 1AC).
there is also one Atlantik detachment CL Karlsruhe in West Africa

Ostrasien 1 detachment in Wilhelmshaven, commanded by Graf Spee (2.1.2) all squads have speed of 4 or 4+ (1 BC; 2 CL; 1AC; and L71 airship)

Pacifik 1 detachment in Bismarck Islands containing 3 squads (AC Sharnhorst; CL Dresden; CL Emden). Oddly Graf Spee is also shown as being in command of this Fleet too??


Questions:
1) Why does Graf Spee show up as the commander in two different fleets?
2) Is it stupid to have detachments of Indien, and Atlantik in two different areas of the world?
3) How can I get the two detachments in Africa to make it up to Wilhelmshaven?
4) Is it stupid to group squadrons into detachments by speed?
5) Now that I have the L71 airship attached to a fleet, it won't let me switch it to other fleets it says I'm trying to attach a land unit to a naval unit.
6) Is there any use in having an airship reconnaissance unit attached to a fleet?

1) Why does Graf Spee show up as the commander in two different fleets?

I think it's surely a scenario setup error. I will fix it asap.

2) Is it stupid to have detachments of Indien, and Atlantik in two different areas of the world?

I think no. Raid missions...

3) How can I get the two detachments in Africa to make it up to Wilhelmshaven?

Have you tried to move them to Germany?

4) Is it stupid to group squadrons into detachments by speed?

Hard question... I think there could be some dangerous side-effects. I hope Philippe and/or Bruno can provide some useful tips.

5) Now that I have the L71 airship attached to a fleet, it won't let me switch it to other fleets it says I'm trying to attach a land unit to a naval unit.

Indeed it's considered a land unit... mmmh... I have to add some tweaking in the code to manage these special cases. But I do not know if it's right. Because so you could be allowed to move land units on sea, like if you had a carrier!!

6) Is there any use in having an airship reconnaissance unit attached to a fleet?

Reconnaissance bonus during naval battles.
