Admiral Sir Derek Roy Reffell KCB (born 6 October 1928) is a former Governor of Gibraltar.
==Naval career==
Educated at Culford School,〔(Culford School )〕 Reffell entered the Royal Navy, qualified as a Navigating Officer in 1954 and progressed through the ranks: he commanded the frigate, HMS ''Sirius'', from her launch in 1966,〔(The view from the Captain's cabin )〕 and served as captain of the commando carrier HMS ''Hermes'' from 1974 to 1976 and as Commodore (Amphibious Warfare) from 1978 to 1979. He was appointed Assistant Chief of the Naval Staff for Policy - ACNS(P) - in 1979.〔Whitaker's Almanacks〕 He was promoted to Vice-Admiral, becoming Flag Officer Third Flotilla (FOF3) in 1982.〔
During the Falklands War Admiral Reffell was serving as Flag Officer Third Flotilla in charge of the amphibious ships and aircraft carriers. Alastair Finlan commented that Admiral Reffell was the obvious choice for in-theatre commander but was not selected.〔Alastair Finlan, The Royal Navy in the Falklands Conflict and the Gulf War: culture and strategy〕 Commodore Clapp later expressed his surprise at this decision, and, what was more, the fact that Reffell was barred access to the Northwood Headquarters so that his advice was not available.〔Michael Clapp and Ewen Southby-Tailyour, Amphibious Assault Falklands, via Finlan, p.74, via Google Books〕 He did however become senior officer in-theatre (aboard ''Bristol'' for a period) from 1 July 1982 after Woodward had returned home.〔The Royal Navy in the Falklands War, p.344 and Edward Fursdon, Falklands Aftermath: Picking Up the Pieces, p.61〕 ''Illustrious'' seems to have arrived on 27 Augusy 1982 to take over as Reffell's flagship.
He became Controller of the Navy in 1984 and was Governor of Gibraltar 1989-1993.〔
