History[edit]


The Office of the Naval Secretary was originally established in 1800 when the appointment was styled Private Secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty[2] and remained so styled until 1911. In 1912 it was re-titled Naval Secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty.[3] The post-holder assisted the political head of the navy on senior appointments. When the Admiralty department was abolished in 1964 the post was renamed Naval Secretary. In 2010 the title was held simultaneously with post of the Assistant Chief of the Naval Staff (Personnel) and is styled Assistant Chief of the Naval Staff (Personnel) and Naval Secretary.[4] In 2015 the post holder assumed additional responsibilities for the Royal Naval Reserve and another additional title of Flag Officer, Maritime Reserves.[5]
