Fifth Sea Lord
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fifth Sea Lord was one of the senior positions in the Royal Navy
During the First World War, it was one of four additional Sea Lords created during the war to manage the navy. It was abolished after the war ended.
In 1938, the post of Fifth Sea Lord was reestablished and was the Chief of Naval Air Services, responsible for preparation and management of all of the Royal Navy's aircraft and air personnel.
The post was abolished as a result of various reorganisations of the navy since 1945[citation needed]
The modern equivalent of the Chief of Naval Air Services, is titled Rear Admiral: Fleet Air Arm, and is a dual hatted post (held by a Navy official in conjunction with another unrelated post).
