Larken has since served as President of the Not Forgotten Association and the Association of Wrens. Naval careerAnthea Larken was born in 1938, and joined the Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS) in 1956. Her initial role was as a range assessor, and became a photographic interpreter five years later. After a further four years, she was posted as a staff officer to the Singapore Naval Base in 1964. In 1967, Larken became a secretarial officer, and in 1976 became the officer in charge of the WRNS officer training programme at the Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, Devon.[1] In 1981, she joined the Military Agency for Standardisation in NATO, and in 1985 became the chief services officer to the flag officer at HMNB Devonport. Larken joined the Royal College of Defence Studies in 1987, before becoming the Director of the WRNS between 1988-1991. At the same time, she also held the position of aide-de-camp to Queen Elizabeth II.[1] Larken was an advocate of the opinion that WRNS should be able to go to sea on Royal Navy warships, ever since she visited the United States Navy and Royal Canadian Navy in the late 1970s. While Larken was Director of the WRNS, in 1990 women went to sea for the first time on HMS Brilliant.[1] In 1992, she was promoted to Commandant.[2] At the end of her service as Director, Larken was named to the Order of the British Empire as a Commander. The WRNS were merged into the Royal Navy in November 1993, with Larken remaining Director and Company Secretary for the Operational Command Training Organisation, a post she held until 1996.[1] In retirementLarken was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws by the University of Greenwich in 2000.[1][3] By 2012, she was President of the Not Forgotten Association.[4] Larken later became President of the Association of Wrens.[5] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|last1=Stewart|first1=William|title=Admirals of the World: A Biographical Dictionary, 1500 to the Present|date=2009|publisher=McFarland|location=Jefferson, NC|isbn=978-0-78643-809-9|page=198|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ZFeQBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA198&lpg=PA198&dq=%22anthea+larken%22&source=bl&ots=xpvRsPg_Ks&sig=JMXtlX5l1t1sMt-yBWmp0CuUqUE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi5t-rJ_LbaAhUNasAKHfu9CEQ4ChDoAQgyMAI#v=onepage&q=%22anthea%20larken%22&f=false}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Larken, Anthea}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Naval Servicewomen gather at Greenwich for WRNS100 celebration|url=https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-latest-activity/news/2017/july/17/170717-wrns-centenary-celebration-at-greenwich|publisher=Royal Navy|accessdate=13 April 2018|date=17 July 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Commandant Anthea Larken CBE|url=http://www.gre.ac.uk/students/awards-ceremonies?a=407997|publisher=University of Greenwich|accessdate=13 April 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=The Not Forgotten Association Remembered The 75th Anniversary of the Death Of Its American Founder|url=https://www.cobseo.org.uk/the-not-forgotten-association-remembered-the-75th-anniversary-of-the-death-of-its-american-founder/|publisher=The Confederation of Service Charities|accessdate=13 April 2018|date=26 June 2012}} 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Saywell|first1=Celia|title=Cmdt Anthea Larken CBE talks to the NMRN|url=http://www.wrens.org.uk/news/cmdt-anthea-larken-cbe-talks-nmrn|publisher=Association of Wrens|accessdate=13 April 2018|date=27 January 2017}} 4 : Living people|1938 births|Women's Royal Naval Service officers|Commanders of the Order of the British Empire |
