The Third Sea Lord and Controller of the Navy was formerly the Naval Lord and member of the Board of Admiralty responsible for procurement and matériel in the British Royal Navy. The title of the office is now simply Controller of the Navy (abbreviated as CofN), and the Controller of the Navy is a member of the Admiralty Board. ==History== In 1805, for the first time, specific functions were assigned to each of the 'Naval' Lords, who were described as 'Professional' Lords, leaving to the 'Civil' Lords the routine business of signing documents.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=16652 )〕 In the reorganisation of the Admiralty by Order in Council of 14 January 1869, the Comptroller of the Navy was given a seat on the Board of Admiralty as the Third Naval Lord and Comptroller of the Navy. The Comptroller lost the title of Third Naval Lord and the seat on the Board by an Order in Council of 19 March 1872, but regained them by a further Order of 10 March 1882.〔"The Board of Admiralty", ''The Times'', 26 November 1900〕 In 1869, the post of Storekeeper-General of the Navy was abolished and its duties merged into those of the Comptroller of the Navy.〔"The Admiralty", ''The Times'', 4 March 1869〕 The Third Naval Lord became known as the Third Sea Lord from 1905. The appointment of Controller of the Navy was abolished in September 1912, although that of Third Sea Lord remained.〔"The Administration and Discipline of the Navy", ''The Times'', 9 September 1912〕 In 1917 the post of Controller of the Navy was revived, but as a separate civilian position with a seat on the Board of Admiralty.〔"The Controller of the Navy", ''The Times'', 28 May 1917〕 In 1918, the post of Controller of the Navy was once again amalgamated with that of Third Sea Lord and in 1965 the post became simply Controller of the Navy.〔Whitaker's Almanack 1966〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Third Sea Lord」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
