The Flag Officer, Surface Flotilla was a senior British Royal Navy appointment the office holder commanded the Surface Flotilla from 1990 to 2002.

History

Following the further downsizing of the Royal Navy the Western Fleet and Far East Fleet were merged into the single Commander-in-Chief Fleet in 1971. Within this new structure three major sub-commands were created the First Flotilla, Second Flotilla and Carriers and Amphibious Ships each commanded by a Flag Officer.[1] In 1990 the First Flotilla is re-designated Surface Flotilla. 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 Flag Officer, UK Task Group - who would command any deployed task group.[2]
