Flag Officer, Second Flotilla Military unit
The Flag Officer, Second Flotilla was a senior British Royal Navy appointment from 1971 to 1992.
History
After the creation of the single Commander-in-Chief Fleet post in 1971, its subordinate commands were reorganised. Three major sub-commands were created; the First Flotilla , Second Flotilla and Carriers and Amphibious Ships each commanded by a rear admiral.[ 1]
In 1990 the First Flotilla was re-designated Surface Flotilla. Rear Admiral Brigstocke, the incumbent Flag Officer Second Flotilla, commanded the HMS Ark Royal (R07) task group off Libya during the Gulf War .[ 2]
In April 1992, the system was changed when the Third Flotilla was abolished and the remaining two flotilla commanders became Flag Officer, Surface Flotilla - responsible for operational readiness and training; and Second Flotilla became Flag Officer, UK Task Group, who would command any deployed task group.[ 3]
