		The first of the boards set up to administer the Royal Navy was the Navy Board, established in 1546, in the reign of Henry VIII. Its job was to organise the business of the Navy and advise the Lord Admiral, one of the Officers of State.
		The Board of Admiralty, made up of seven members, was first commissioned to perform the functions of the Lord Admiral (later termed Lord High Admiral) during the reign of Charles I (1625B1642).
		The Admiralty, therefore, though executive head of the navy, was not a monolithic entity but part of a largely decentralised administrative structure.

		The Admiralty Staff organization necessarily differed somewhat from that at the War Office, because during the war the Admiralty in a sense combined, so far as Naval operations were concerned, the functions both of the War Office and of General Headquarters in France.
		The Letters Patent for the new Board of Admiralty having now been issued, it may be desirable to summarize the changes in the personnel of the Board and to indicate briefly the alterations in organization that have been decided upon.
		This resulted in somewhat overloading the staff at the head, and the principle on which the Board of Admiralty works, i.e., that its members are colleagues one of another, and seniority in rank does not, theoretically, give greater weight in council, was not altogether followed.

	Ship Modeling FAQ, Question 004 --- Revised: December 15, 2004
		These Navy Board models were a variation of Plank on Frame that quickly became stylized in construction; instead of frames that were continuous from keel to sheer, with gaps between the frames, Navy Board models have interrupted frames.
		If you were doing an admiralty model, you would want to show all of the frames, so any planking would be plank on frame.
		In some British "Admiralty" models, the planking was purposely left incomplete to allow the viewer to examine the hull timbers.

		Drafts and after 1869 copies of related out-letters were placed with the in-letters, and with the grouping together of all papers on a given subject the series became composed of files of the modern type.
		The centralised direction of naval affairs from 1832 resulted in the reference to the Admiralty Board, or individual members of it, of all matters involving policy decisions, and thus in the creation of papers in the Secretary's Department.
		Thus in principle all letters from, for example, Commanders-in-Chief at Portsmouth, the Navy Board, or the Secretaries of State, would be kept together in chronological order regardless of the subjects of the letters or the names of those who had signed them.
