You can't form a fleet on the map once the game starts.
Any fleet completely destroyed or disbanded has its fleet token removed from the board.
The only way to return a fleet to the board using the rules as written is to do so in the reinforcements box.
Admirals do not carry fleet tokens, fleets are assigned admirals. A fleet doesn't have to have an admiral.
In universe it should take even longer. The destruction of the fleet or its dibandment should be comm lagged, and the orders to incorporate a new fleet also comm lagged.
The meta for this is likely that it is not the same fleet being reconstituted off board, it is more a game balance issue to allow a fleet token back on the board a lot sooner. The sector admiralty is a long way from this quadrant of the Spinward Marches.
As I said upthread, a couple of house rules would be to grant an admiral the authority to form a new fleet in a hex, and or the warrant holder the authority to form a new fleet in a hex.
