Naval Home Command administered training and garrison functions for the Royal Navy from 1969 to 2012. Its commander was Commander-in-Chief, Naval Home Command (CINCNAVHOME).[1]

History

[edit]

As the Royal Navy's size decreased during the Cold War, commands were amalgamated. In 1969, the Home and Mediterranean Fleets were amalgamated, and on shore, the great historical garrison commands of Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth and Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth were combined in July 1969. The result was Naval Home Command.

In 1992 establishments under the command's jurisdiction included Flag Officer, Portsmouth; Flag Officer Plymouth; activities at Portland; Flag Officer Scotland and Northern Ireland; Commodore HMNB Clyde; Training; Reserves; and Chief Executive Marine Services.[2]

In 1976 the last Admiral Commanding, Reserves hauled down his flag.

Other Royal Navy shore establishments also reported to CINCNAVHOME.

From 1994

[edit]

In 1994 the post of Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command was unified with that of the Second Sea Lord following the rationalisation of the British Armed Forces following the end of the Cold War.[7] The staff were housed in a new Victory Building at Portsmouth. By 2006, the primary responsibility of the CNH/2SL was to maintain operational capability by providing correctly trained manpower to the fleet. [8]

In 2012, the appointments of both remaining Commanders-in-Chief were discontinued, with full operational command being vested instead in the First Sea Lord.[9] when the several separate existing commands were discontinued.
