Английская Википедия:Flag Officer, Second Flotilla
The Flag Officer, Second Flotilla was a senior British Royal Navy appointment from 1971 to 1992.
History
After the creation of the single Commander-in-Chief Fleet post in 1971, its subordinate commands were reorganised. Three major sub-commands were created; the First Flotilla, Second Flotilla and Carriers and Amphibious Ships each commanded by a rear admiral.[1] The Flotilla included (Watson & Smith 2015):
- 4th Frigate Squadron (1976-1981)
- 5th Frigate Squadron (1972-1976)
- 6th Frigate Squadron (1972-1976)
- 7th Frigate Squadron (1972-1980)
- 8th Frigate Squadron (1972-1980)
- 5th Destroyer Squadron (1980-1992)
In 1990 the First Flotilla was re-designated Surface Flotilla. Rear Admiral Brigstocke, the incumbent Flag Officer Second Flotilla, commanded the Шаблон:HMS task group off Libya during the Gulf War.[2]
In April 1992, the system was changed when the Third Flotilla was abolished and the remaining two flotilla commanders became Flag Officer, Surface Flotilla - responsible for operational readiness and training; and Second Flotilla became Flag Officer, UK Task Group, who would command any deployed task group.[3]
