A special ceremony has taken
A special ceremony has taken place on board HMS Victory to formally hand over the flagship from the newly appointed Second Sea Lord, Vice Admiral David Steel, to the First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope.
It was as Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command that the Second Sea Lord flew his flag in HMS Victory.
Defence re-organisation has meant that the title of Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command no longer exists. As the First Sea Lord retains full command responsibility, HMS Victory will now become his flagship.
Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope said: "It is a great honour for me to hoist the Flag of the First Sea Lord in HMS Victory. It also reflects the increased role that the First Sea Lord now plays in the running of the Royal Navy from the Headquarters in Portsmouth."
