The command dates back to 1797 and was originally known as "Admiral Commanding in Ireland" or "Commander-in-Chief, Cork Station".^[1] The post remained unfilled between 1831 and 1843.^[1] It was renamed "Commander in Chief, Queenstown" in 1849 following a visit by Queen Victoria when she renamed the town of Cobh "Queenstown".^[2]
