 In October 1905, the Heimatflotte was again reorganized; Kaiser Friedrich III was reassigned to the I Division of the II Squadron, alongside her sister-ship Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and the older battleship Wörth. The Heimatflotte in 1905 consisted of another division of three battleships in the II Squadron and two more three-ship divisions in the I Squadron. This was supported by a cruiser division, composed of two armored cruisers and six protected cruisers. The divisions were not organized by ship class, as would be the case in later years. In 1907, the newest Deutschland-class battleships were coming into service; along with the Braunschweig-class battleships, these provided enough modern battleships to create two full battle squadrons. As a result, the Heimatflotte was renamed the Hochseeflotte (High Seas Fleet).
