Royal Navy post, responsible for the operation, resourcing and training of vessels and people
Fleet Commander is a senior Royal Navy post, responsible for the operation, resourcing and training of the ships, submarines and aircraft, and personnel, of the Naval Service. The vice-admiral incumbent is required to provide ships, submarines and aircraft ready for operations, and is based at Navy Command Headquarters.
The post was created in April 2012 following a reorganisation of the Royal Navy and a re-designation of the former role of Commander-in-Chief Fleet.[1]
The fleet commander's purpose is to provide ships, submarines and aircraft ready for any operations that the government requires.[1]
The fleet commander's major subordinates included as of September 2020:[2]
The previous post of Assistant Chief of the Naval Staff (Training)/Flag Officer Sea Training[5] was disestablished in May-June 2020. It was superseded by Commander Fleet Operational Sea Training, and in the process the senior Sea Training officer was regraded downwards from a rear admiral to a commodore.[6]
The British Army equivalent is Commander Field Army. The RAF's Air and Space Commander is the close equivalent of the two positions.[7]
