Commander-in-Chief - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the Royal Navy, the overall head of the Navy is known as the Lord High Admiral, and the post has been variously held by the monarch, an individual admiral, or by a board of commissioners. Commander-in-Chief is the commander of all the military forces within a particular region or of all the military forces of a state. In the British Army, the office of General in Chief Command, later renamed Commander-in-Chief of the Forces, was instituted after the Restoration in 1660. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Commander-in-Chief

In that time, the Royal Navy suffered only one major defeat - the battle of the Chesapeake against France in 1781 - and was able to defeat all challengers, as at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 where a combined Spanish and French fleet was decisively beaten (despite the British fleet being outnumbered). The Royal Navy also participated in the Gulf War, the Kosovo conflict, the Afghanistan Campaign, and the 2003 Iraq War, the last of which saw RN warships bombard positions in support of the Al Faw Peninsula landings by Royal Marines. www.casinoencyclopedia.com /index.php?title=Royal_Navy
