Fleet Commander is a senior Royal Navy post, responsible for the operation, resourcing and training of the ships, submarines and aircraft, and personnel, of the Naval Service. The vice-admiral incumbent is required to provide ships, submarines and aircraft ready for operations, and is based at the fleet headquarters at HMS Excellent, Whale Island.
The post was created in April 2012 following a reorganisation of the Royal Navy and a downgrading in rank of the former role of Commander-in-Chief Fleet.
