The Fifth Sea Lord was formerly one of the Naval Lords and members of the Board of Admiralty that controlled the Royal Navy. The post's incumbent had responsibility for naval aviation. ==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 )〕 During World War I it was one of four additional Sea Lords created during the war to manage the Navy. The only officer to hold the title during World War I was Commodore Godfrey Paine. Commodore Paine simultaneously held the title of Director of Naval Aviation. After the Air Force Bill received the Royal Assent in November 1917, the Air Council was created on 3 January 1918 which included Paine.〔(Air of Authority - A History of RAF Organisation )〕 The post of Fifth Sea Lord then lapsed until 1938 when the Admiralty regained responsibility for naval aviation: the post was reestablished and was the Chief of Naval Air Services, responsible for preparation and management of all of the Royal Navy's aircraft and air personnel.〔(Division with ADM ) National Archives〕 The post was abolished in 1965.〔Whitaker's Almanack 1965〕 The modern equivalent of the Chief of Naval Air Services is titled ''Rear Admiral: Fleet Air Arm'', and is a dual-hatted post (held by a Navy official in conjunction with another unrelated post).〔(Fleet Air Arm Officers' Association )〕 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「Fifth Sea Lord」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
