Well, first they need some friendly ports so they can dock their ships for resupplying, maintenance, and for recruits to meet up.

I'd imagine that when they started out, it was easy to find a port for one ship, but as the size of the fleet grows, you need a lot more room.

Perhaps sometime before the 'present day' they decided to divide the fleet to be all over the seas around the Four Kingdoms as to not congest local ports, and as a way to always have people on hand at a moments notice if there's a mission somewhere half-way around the world.

Or for a more political reason...to ensure a family member doesn't gain too much power and take over the entire company...
