ROYAL NAVY ORGANISATION AND DEPLOYMENT FROM 1947
The distribution of the ships and submarines of the Royal Navy
in the post-war period can be presented within three distinct
time-periods.�
Between 1947 and 1971, ships and
submarines were allocated to one of more of distinct
geographic commands;
from 1971 until 2002 the command organisation consisted of a
single fleet headquarters which commanded a variety of
numbered� flotillas and squadrons.�
Since 2002 all ships and submarines have been administered by
the three base-port flotillas� which comprise the fleet.
COMMANDS 1947-1971
After World War Two, the Royal Navy re-established its pre-war
pattern of fleet and command structure. The world-wide
deployment of the navy was administered by the Admiralty [until
1964 and then by the Ministry of Defence] through a series of
mainly geographic commands. Within each command there were
fleets, flotillas, squadrons and individual ships.
Between 1954 and 1971 these commands were either abolished or
combined into fewer but larger commands. Such was the scale of
the change that, by November 1971, almost all British naval
forces were brought under the command of The Fleet whose
headquarters was at Northwood, Middlesex.
The initial distribution of the commands in 1947 were -
The Home Fleet
The Home Commands-
-The Nore
-Portsmouth
-Plymouth
-Rosyth [soon to be Scotland & Northern Ireland]
-Air [Home]
-Submarines
The Reserve Fleet
The Mediterranean Fleet
The East Indies Station
The Far East Station
The South Atlantic and South America Station
The North America and West Indies Station
A fleet consisted of the full range of fighting ships; and a
station of a more limited range of warship types.� Until
1951 the term squadron was used to denote a group of major
warships such as aircraft carriers or cruisers; and the term
flotilla described groupings� of destroyers,�
frigates, submarines and smaller vessels.� From 1951, in
conformity with NATO designations, all types of ships were
grouped into squadrons.� The term flotilla was used only in
terms of the title of those flag officers who had sea-going
commands in the Home and Mediterranean Fleets.
In detail, the above fleets and commands were made up of the
following� squadrons and flotillas.
THE HOME FLEET
Fleet Flagship
Home Fleet Training Squadron
3rd Aircraft Carrier Squadron
2nd Cruiser Squadron
4th Destroyer Flotilla
5th Destroyer Flotilla
6th Destroyer Flotilla
THE HOME COMMANDS
The Nore Command, based at
Chatham, controlled the naval bases and dockyards at Chatham,
Sheerness� and Harwich.� Apart from a small number
of training ships, the only force allocated was the 4th
Minesweeper Flotilla at Harwich.
Portsmouth Command controlled the naval bases and dockyards at
Portsmouth and Portland.� Training ships operated out of
Portsmouth, and Portland was the base for the Home Fleet
Training Squadron and the 2nd Training Squadron.
Plymouth Command controlled the base and dockyard at
Devonport, and was responsible for the Dartmouth training
cruiser and a training squadron at Devonport.
Rosyth Command was renamed Scotland and Northern Ireland
Command in 1947. It was responsible for the base and dockyard
at Rosyth and the bases at Scapa Flow, Rothesay and�
Londonderry. It commanded the 3rd Training Squadron at
Londonderry, the 4th Training Squadron at Rosyth, and the
Fishery Protection Squadron.
The Flag Officer Air [Home] was responsible for the
administration of the Fleet Air Arm, and for all the
shore-based naval aviation in the UK. His headquarters was
at� Lee-on-Solent.
The Flag Officer Submarines was head of the Submarine Service;
and commanded the submarine flotillas in home waters. They
were the 2nd Submarine Flotilla at Portland for ASW training,
the fully-operational 3rd Submarine Flotilla at Rothesay, and
the 5th Submarine Flotilla at Gosport for submarine training.
In addition all home commands were responsible for most shore
establishments within their respective geographic� area.
THE RESERVE FLEET
With a ship-borne HQ at
Portsmouth, the Flag Officer Reserve Fleet was responsible for
the maintenance and readiness of a large number of war-built
warships which were laid up in bases and ports around the
world.
THE MEDITERRANEAN FLEET. With its principal base at Malta, and
dockyards at Malta and Gibraltar, this fleet consisted of-
2nd Aircraft Carrier Squadron
1st Cruiser Squadron
1st Destroyer Flotilla
2nd Destroyer Flotilla [not formed in 1947]
3rd Destroyer Flotilla
2nd Escort Flotilla
3rd Escort Flotilla
1st Submarine Flotilla
2nd Minesweeper Flotilla
EAST INDIES STATION. Based at Trincomalee in Ceylon were-
4th Cruiser Squadron
two frigates
and the Persian Gulf and Red Sea Divisions
FAR EAST STATION. With its principal base and dockyard at
Singapore and another base at Hong Kong,� this command
consisted of-
1st Aircraft Carrier Squadron
-to 1947
5th Cruiser Squadron
8th Destroyer Flotilla
4th Escort Flotilla
4th Submarine Flotilla -until 1947
SOUTH ATLANTIC AND SOUTH AMERICA STATION. Based at Simonstown in
South Africa, the only allocated ships were-
1 cruiser
2 frigates
NORTH AMERICA AND WEST INDIES STATION. Based at Bermuda were-
2 cruisers [only one after 1947]
2-3 frigates
�
In 1949, the 4th Submarine Division was established at Sydney
NSW to provide submarine support for the Australian and New
Zealand Navies. The 6th Submarine Division was formed at Halifax
NS for similar duties with the Royal Canadian Navy.
Few changes took place between 1947 and 1954. Overseas, ships
tended to spend long periods on the same station sustained by
the local dockyards, and by drafts of crews brought out from the
UK. Sailors could spend 3-4 years abroad on the same ship.
The main changes during the period between 1947 and 1954 were:
- Manpower shortages reduced
each aircraft carrier squadron to a single ship in 1947. This
involved the temporary withdrawal of naval aviation from the
Far East.
- Similar considerations brought about the withdrawal of the
4th Submarine Flotilla in 1947 which was compensated in part
by the creation of the 4th Submarine Division in1949.
- 3rd Escort Flotilla - which became 3rd Frigate Squadron
moved from the Mediterranean to the Far East in 1949 as it was
no longer required after the withdrawal from Palestine.
- The Home Fleets' battleships, aircraft carriers and cruisers
were merged into the Heavy Squadron in 1951.
- Aircraft carriers from the Home and Mediterranean Fleets
rotated� to the Far East on twelve month long deployments
during the Korean War.
- The 5th and 6th Frigate Squadrons were formed in 1950 to
enhance the ASW forces of the Mediterranean and Home Fleets
respectively.
- In 1952 the CinC� North America and West Indies Station
became 'double-hatted' as Deputy Supreme Allied Commander
Atlantic. In 1954 he transferred his HQ from Bermuda to
Norfolk, Virginia, and the Station was abolished. The 8th
Frigate Squadron was formed to control the frigates which
continued to be stationed in Bermuda.
1954 was the� year in which major changes were introduced
in the method by which warships were rotated between the various
fleets and stations. The need to stretch smaller numbers of
ships between� the fleets, and the increased welfare
requirements of the Navy, led to a new method of manning
warships. Instead of spending long periods abroad, ships were
allocated to one of three types of commission.
- General Service Commissions
would last 18 months during which no ship would spend more
than 12 months overseas: the remaining time would be spent at
home. This system� applied to complete squadrons of
destroyers and frigates on the Home and Mediterranean Fleets,
and would later be extended to squadrons� rotating
between the Home Fleet and� Far East Station.� The
squadrons were the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th
Destroyer Squadrons, and the 5th and 6th Frigate Squadrons
[and later the 4th Frigate Squadron].� Frigates allocated
to the West Indies, South Atlantic and Persian Gulf would
rotate as individual ships, as would aircraft carriers and
cruisers.
- Home Sea Service Commissions would last for two years and
applied to all ships employed on local defence, training and
other tasks in home waters
- Foreign Service Commissions would last for 2 years and would
apply to small ships such as minesweepers permanently based
overseas; crews would be accompanied by their families.
The East Indies Station was abolished in 1958 when the sole
remaining cruiser - HMS Gambia - was withdrawn.� The
remaining frigates and minesweepers came under command of the
new joint services Middle East Command at Aden.
From 1952, many� ships of the Reserve Fleet were dispersed
from the home ports to commercial ports around the UK as a
precaution against nuclear attack.� Between 1955 and 1960
most of the wartime ships held in reserve were sent to the
scrapyard.� As a result the Reserve Fleet was abolished in
1960, and responsibility for the few ships remaining in
'operational reserve'� was transferred to Portsmouth
Command.
In 1961, further centralisation took place when the CinC Home
Fleet moved ashore to Northwood in Middlesex and took command of
all ships and submarines in home waters.� The home commands
- including the Nore which was abolished in the same year - lost
control of seagoing ships. In addition the geographic boundaries
of the Home Fleet were extended to include the 8th Frigate
Squadron at Bermuda.
In 1962 a joint service command was established at Singapore and
the Far East Station was retitled the Far East Fleet.
On 1st April 1964, the Admiralty was absorbed� into the
Ministry of Defence along with the War Office, Air Ministry and
Ministry of Supply.
Three major changes occurred in 1967.
- In April, the South Atlantic
and South America Station was abolished. It had been reduced
to a single frigate. Responsibility for its area was split
between the Home Fleet and the Far East Fleet.
�
- In July, the Mediterranean Fleet ceased to exist, and the
remaining forces in the area came under the command of the
Home Fleet, which was retitled the Western Fleet.
- In October, Britain left Aden, and, apart from a small force
remaining in the Persian Gulf, all naval forces 'East of Suez'
came under the command of the Far East Fleet.
The final stages in the process of consolidation took place in
1971. The remaining ships were withdrawn from the Persian Gulf
in October. The Far East Fleet steamed out of Singapore in
November en-route for the UK. The only ships left in the Far
East were a single frigate as Britain's contribution to the
ANZUK force at Singapore, and five patrol vessels at Hong Kong.
On 1st November 1971 the Western Fleet became The Fleet with
command of all seagoing vessels. It was supported by Naval Home
Command, which had replaced the Home Commands in 1969, and by
Naval Air Command.
FLOTILLAS AND SQUADRONS
1947-1971
For most of the period under review flotillas were tactical
organisations in which the ships deployed and operated together.
There was an increasing tendency for squadrons to undertake
administrative duties, and to assume responsibility for training
and readiness.� After 1951 the term flotilla applied to the
higher command organisation of squadrons in the Home and
Mediterranean Fleets. The squadrons of the Home Fleet were
grouped under a Flag Officer [Flotillas] Home Fleet who became
the main seagoing flag officer. A similar arrangement applied to
the Flag Officer [Flotillas] Mediterranean Fleet. In the Far
East the Flag Officer 5th Cruiser Squadron became Flag Officer
2nd in Command with similar seagoing duties. Increasingly the
term 'Submarine Flotilla' was used to describe the squadrons
under command of the Flag Officer Submarines.
The following squadrons existed between 1947 and 1971.
Home Fleet Training Squadron 1947-1957
- Battleships and aircraft
carriers based a Portland to provide basic training - went to
sea twice a year - mobilised as helicopter carriers for the
Suez operation in 1956.
Heavy Squadron, Home Fleet, December 1951-October 1954
- Composed of the battleship,
aircraft carriers and cruisers of the Home fleet. Its
commander became Flag Officer Aircraft Carriers with
administrative responsibility for all the operational
carriers. He took on the responsibility for amphibious ships
in 1968.

ORGANISATIONAL OVERVIEW
1971-2002
With HQ at Northwood until 2001, when it moved to Portsmouth,
the Fleet was organised into a number of flotillas, each of
which was commanded by a Rear Admiral.�� They were-
First Flotilla� [included frigate squadrons based at
Portsmouth and Chatham]
1st� Frigate Squadron
2nd Frigate Squadron
5th Frigate Squadron
6th Frigate Squadron
Second Flotilla [included frigate squadrons based at Devonport]
3rd Frigate Squadron
4th Frigate Squadron
7th Frigate Squadron
8th Frigate Squadron
Aircraft Carriers and Amphibious Ships, became Third Flotilla in
December 1979.
Submarine Flotilla
1st Submarine Squadron, Gosport
2nd Submarine Squadron, Devonport
3rd Submarine Squadron, Faslane
10th Submarine Squadron, Faslane
Mine Countermeasures Flotilla� [commanded by a Commodore]
1st MCM Squadron
2nd MCM Squadron
3rd MCM Squadron
10th MCM Squadron [RNR]
Fishery Protection Squadron
In effect, this provided the flag officer and staffs for up to
three ad hoc task groups.
In April 1992, the system was changed when the Third Flotilla
was abolished and the remaining two flotilla commanders became:
FO Surface Flotilla -
responsible for operational readiness and training
FO UK Task Group - who would command any deployed task group.
SQUADRON
ORGANISATION�����
Until 1986, the command cruisers and County class destroyers
based at Portsmouth were distributed between the First and
Second Flotillas on an individual basis.
Between January 1972 and January 1981, all other destroyers and
frigates were distributed between 1st-8th Frigate
Squadrons.� Each squadron contained a mixture of vessels
from different� classes in order to provide balanced
tactical units.� The system broke down quickly under the
pressure of operational commitments, manpower problems, and
maintenance schedules.
From January 1981 until February 2002, destroyers [type 42] and
frigates were assigned to squadrons which were composed of ships
of the same class.� Each squadron had a purely
administrative role, devoted to operational readiness and
training. Each squadron had a specific base port-either
Portsmouth, Devonport or Rosyth.� Ships would be deployed
on an individual basis as required by Fleet HQ.
The squadrons and allocated classes were:
1st Frigate Squadron,
Devonport, Ikara equipped Leander class frigates until July
1987,� Batch 2 Type 22 frigates from then until September
1999
2nd Frigate Squadron, Devonport, Batch 1 Type 22 frigates
until 1993, Batch 3 Type 22 frigates after that date
3rd Destroyer Squadron,� Rosyth, Type 42 destroyers
4th Frigate Squadron, Devonport, Type 21 frigates until 1994
4th Frigate Squadron, Portsmouth, Type 23 frigates from 1994
5th Destroyer Squadron, Portsmouth, Type 42 destroyers
6th Frigate Squadron, Devonport, Type 12 frigates, from July
1988-all remaining Leanders
6th Frigate Squadron, Portsmouth, Type 23 frigates from 1994
7th Frigate Squadron, Devonport, Exocet equipped Leander class
until 1993
8th Frigate Squadron, Portsmouth, 'broad-beamed' Leanders
until 1988
8th Frigate Squadron, Devonport, Batch 3 Type 22 frigates
1988-1993
9th Frigate Squadron, Devonport, Batch 2 Type 22 frigates
1985-1987
9th Frigate Squadron, Devonport, Type 23 frigates 1990-1993
The Submarine Flotilla was made up of:
1st Submarine Squadron,
Gosport, Porpoise and Oberon classes. Disbanded October 1993
2nd Submarine Squadron, Devonport, SSN's and SS's
3rd Submarine Squadron, Faslane, SSN's and SS's
10th Submarine Squadron, Faslane, SSBN's
In October 1993 the 3rd and 10th Squadrons at Faslane
amalgamated into a new 1st Submarine Squadron.
Mine Countermeasures Squadrons were:
1st MCMS, Rosyth, November 1995
to Portsmouth
2nd MCMS, Portsmouth, January 1989-Rosyth, November
1995-Portsmouth
3rd MCMS, Rosyth, January 1984, November 1995 to Faslane
4th MCMS, Rosyth, July 1987, disbanded April 1992
10th MCMS, RNR, disbanded September 1993
11th MCMS, formed for service in South Atlantic 1982
The Fishery Protection Squadron was based at Rosyth until moved
to Portsmouth in November 1995.
Hong Kong Patrol Squadron, disbanded 1997
Northern Ireland Patrol Squadron 1972-
Falkland Islands Patrol Squadron 1983-1987
In February 2002 all existing squadrons were disbanded and
replaced by three base port flotillas at Devonport, Faslane and
Portsmouth.�� ��� �

THE
RESERVE FLEET - 1960
Until 1955 the composition of the Reserve Fleet was relatively
static.� The Fleet was rundown between 1955 and 1960 when
large numbers of war-built ships were sent to the scrapyards.
This a summary of the Reserve Fleet in May 1952

Between� 1953 and 1954 many ships were transferred from the
major naval bases to commercial ports around the UK.
When submarines were out of commission, they were in dockyard
hands, rather than being laid up.�
�� ��� ���
��� ��� ���
���
From 1954, ships were allocated to one of three different types
of commission-General Service Commission; Home Sea Service; and
Foreign Service.
The first involved the frequent movement of ships between fleets
and stations.� All aircraft carriers and most cruisers were
allocated as individual ship to one of the following cycles-
- Home/Mediterranean
- Home/Far East
- and until 1958-Home/East Indies
The bulk of the initial allocations to these cycles was to the
Home/Mediterranean,but,� from 1959, the Home/Far East
became the most important one-no aircraft carriers, and only the
rare cruiser were allocated to the Home/Mediterranean cycle
after that year.
Five aircraft carriers served on� H/M commissions between
1955 and 1960-

As the County class destroyers entered service from 1962,�
eight completed nine H/FE commissions, two served for periods in
the Home Fleet, and two served on the H/Med� cycle.
Between 1954 and 1966 all destroyers and frigates were allocated
to destroyer squadrons and frigate squadron-which became escort
squadrons in 1963.� �
The squadrons allocated to the H/M and H/FE cycles moved between
stations as squadrons. There was some breakdown in the cohesion
of squadrons from 1964 until the disbandment of all the escort
squadrons in 1966-67.
Throughout the whole period, a destroyer squadron and a frigate
squadron served on FSC in the Far East-they became escort
squadrons in 1963. The two squadrons formed a permanent feature
of RN activity in the Far East until complemented by one or two
GSC squadrons� from 1959.
In each of the three smaller stations-Middle East, South
Atlantic, and West Indies there was a single permanent squadron
but the ships allocated to each rotated between the station and
home waters on the relevant GSC -9 FS onH/ME; 7FS on� H/SA,
and8 FS on H/WI.
Looking at the Home Fleet during this period, it would seem that
it commanded a large number of ships. It must be remembered that
much of a ship's type on the home leg of a GSC was spent in
maintenance of defects from previous foreign tour,��
re-commissioning, and work up for the next foreign deployment.
Ships allocated to the H/M cycle totalled 29 destroyers which
completed 43 commissions; and 22 frigates which completed 23
cycles.
Ships allocated to the H/FE cycles totalled� 14 destroyers
with 15 cycles; and 53 frigates with 71 cycles.
Ships on FSC in the Far East totalled 14 destroyers and 11
frigates.
The smaller stations totalled
H/ME-16 frigates
H/SA- 5 frigates
H/WI- 1 destroyer,� 24 frigates
-most completed more than one cycle
The squadrons allocated� to the H/M cycle were-

*
The Type 42 destroyers were named after British cities.
Two of them were lost in the Falklands War. Their replacements
were Type 22 frigates which were given the same names -
Sheffield and Coventry. Underpressure, the Type 22 frigate
which was to have been named Bloodhound was named London.�
So the second batch of Type 22 frigates ended up with
three ships with B names - Boxer, Beaver, Braveand three city
names - London, Sheffield and Coventry.�

Note
on Mine-Warfare Squadrons
Mine-Warfare Vessels Based at Rosyth 1972-1995
From 1972 all 'Ton' class minesweepers based at Rosyth were
grouped together as the 1st MCM Squadron. For a brief period,
two patrol boats [Kingfisher and Cygnet] were attached.
When the new Hunt class MCMV began to enter service from 1980
they too joined 1st MCMS; which meant that two different classes
were adminstered together. The complications of this arrangement
were solved January 1984 when the remaining Ton class were
transferred to the newly re-formed 3MCMS. They continued to
serve at Rosyth until January 1989 when the squadron moved to
Portsmouth.
As the Hunt class entered service, they were divided between 1st
MCMS and 4th MCMS in July 1987, and then into 1st MCMS, 2nd MCMS
and 4th MCMS in January 1989.� In January 1981, 2nd MCMS
moved to Portsmouth. In April 1992 1st MCMS and 4th MCMS merged
into 1st MCMS which commanded the Hunt class until their
withdrawal from Rosyth in November 1995.
The squadron was moved to Portsmouth.
Between 1989 and 1995, the Sandown class single-role Minehunters
constituted the 3rd MCMS at Rosyh. The squadron move to Faslane
in November 1995.
Mine-Warfare Vessels Based at
Portsmouth 1972-
From the 1972, all Ton class minesweepers at Portsmouth were
grouped into 2nd MCM Squadron.�� In January 1989 the
remaining ships of this squadron were transferred into the 3rd
MCMS when that squadron was moved from Rosyth. All were paid off
between 1991 and 1993.
In January 1991, the 2nd MCMS - with its Hunt class-were moved
to Portsmouth from Rosyth.
After the withdrawal from Rosyth, the mine-warfare vessels at
Portsmouth comprised the 1st MCMS and 2nd MCMS; each with a
mixture of Hunt and Sandown classes.� This arrangement
remained in place until January 2006 when all the Hunt class
were consolidated at Portsmouth as the 2nd MCMS; and all the
Sandown class at Faslane as 1st MCMS.
3rd MCMS at Portland. This was a small force of Ton class
engaged in trials work.
Mine-Warfare vessels Based at
Faslane
The 3rd MCMS was transferred from Rosyth to Faslane in November
1995. The squadron operated a mixture of Hunt and Sandown
classes until January� 2006 when it was retitled 1st MCMS
as the sole operator of the Sandown
class.������
