{{col-end}}Since 1972, the office has been united with that of First Sea Lord.[4] Flag aide-de-campFlag aide-de-camp is the designation given to the next most senior naval aide-de-camp after the First and Principal Naval ADC. Between 1972 and 2012, the Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command invariably held this appointment (from 1994-2012 the post of Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command, and with it the office of Flag aide-de-camp, was united with the job of Second Sea Lord).[5] In October 2012 the post of Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command was abolished and the current status of the appointment of Flag aide-de-camp is unclear. The 2017 Navy Directory[6] does not list any such person among the aides-de-camp. References1. ^{{London Gazette|issue=27289 |date=26 February 1901 |page=1417 }}
