The Flag Officer, Third Flotilla was the senior Royal Navy appointment in command of the Third Flotilla from 1979 to 1992.

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 December 1979 the Flag Officer, Carriers and Amphibious Ships (FOCAS) re-named Flag Officer, Third Flotilla (FOF3)[2] - reporting to CINCFLEET. In April 1992, the system was changed when the Third Flotilla was abolished and the remaining two flotilla commanders became: Flag Officer, Surface Flotilla[3] - responsible for operational readiness and training and Commander United Kingdom Task Group (COMUKTG), who would command any deployed task group.
