In January, 1869, Captain George Willes was appointed as "Chief of the Staff", with the same pay as the Junior Naval Lord, and the task of superintending the Coastguard, Royal Naval Reserve, and the manning of the Fleet.<ref>''The Naval Staff of the Admiralty''.  [''Naval Staff''.]  p. 12.</ref>

The Second Naval Lord was historically the second-most senior naval officer on the [[Board of Admiralty]].  The position was abolished by Hugh Childers upon his becoming [[First Lord of the Admiralty]] in December, 1868, and Rear-Admiral George Seymour, a previous Third Naval Lord, was appointed to assist the First Naval Lord with his increased workload.  In January, 1869, Captain George Willes succeeded Seymour and was appointed as "Chief of the Staff," with the same pay as the Junior Naval Lord, and the task of superintending the Coastguard, Royal Naval Reserve, and the manning of the Fleet.<ref>''The Naval Staff of the Admiralty''.  [''Naval Staff''.]  pp. 11-12.</ref>  By [[Order in Council of 14 January, 1869]], the position of Second Naval Lord officially ceased to exist and his duties were nominally given to the First Naval Lord, assisted by the Junior Naval Lord.  The other Naval Lords were also given an increase in pay.<ref>Hamilton.  pp. 189-190.</ref>

Latest revision as of 06:40, 26 July 2023

The Second Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Personnel, until 1904 Second Naval Lord, and between 1904 and 1917 Second Sea Lord, was the member of the Board of Admiralty responsible for the personnel of the British Royal Navy. He was in charge of manning the ships, and training and educating the men.

History

The Second Naval Lord was historically the second-most senior naval officer on the Board of Admiralty. The position was abolished by Hugh Childers upon his becoming First Lord of the Admiralty in December, 1868, and Rear-Admiral George Seymour, a previous Third Naval Lord, was appointed to assist the First Naval Lord with his increased workload. In January, 1869, Captain George Willes succeeded Seymour and was appointed as "Chief of the Staff," with the same pay as the Junior Naval Lord, and the task of superintending the Coastguard, Royal Naval Reserve, and the manning of the Fleet.[1] By Order in Council of 14 January, 1869, the position of Second Naval Lord officially ceased to exist and his duties were nominally given to the First Naval Lord, assisted by the Junior Naval Lord. The other Naval Lords were also given an increase in pay.[2]

The office of Second Naval Lord was re-established on 19 April, 1872, by Order in Council of 19 March of that year. His salary was fixed at £1,200 a year. His duties were not specified as part of the distribution of Admiralty business.[3]

The First Naval Lord, the Second Naval Lord, and the Junior Naval Lord to be responsible to the First Lord of the Admiralty for the Administration of so much business relating to the "Personnel" of the Navy, and to the movement and condition of your Majesty's Fleet, as shall be assigned them, from time to time, by the First Lord.[4]

On 4 March, 1903, the First Lord decided that "on 1 Jany 1904 the whole of the Personnel shall be under the Second Naval Lord".[5]

By Order in Council of 21 December, 1906, the emoluments of the Second Sea Lord were raised from £1,000 a year to £1,500 a year, in addition to Naval Half Pay.[6]

By Order-in-Council of 23 October, 1917, the Second Sea Lord's title was altered to Second Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Personnel.[7]

Staff

Immediately prior to the Great War the Second Sea Lord's office consisted of a Naval Assistant, a Commander, and a Fleet Paymaster.[8]
