How big a "Fleet" was in the Colonial military we never found out. I always saw it like a naval taskforce that might consist of a carrier or two and some support ships. Not necessarily a Fleet of many dozens of ships. In my vision, Cain had a second battlestar with him whose commander was junior to him, and maybe the equivalent of what in our navy would be a heavy cruiser or something like that. Ultimately, allowing for the losses Cain had to have suffered in the Battle Of Molocay it would theoretically be possible for him to have loaded survivors from other ships in his "Fifth Fleet" after it was clear the battle for Molocay was lost.
