 Between 1972 and 2012, the Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command invariably held this appointment (from 1994-2012 the post of Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command, and with it the office of Flag "aide-de-camp", was united with the job of Second Sea Lord).In October 2012 the post of Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command was abolished and the current status of the appointment of Flag "aide-de-camp" is unclear.The 2017 Navy Directory does not list any such person among the aides-de-camp.
