Flag ''aide-de-camp''
Flag ''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 to 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). 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 does not list any such person among the aides-de-camp.
