He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1960 for his work in Borneo but his most famous appointment was as captain of the aircraft carrier HMS ''Invincible'' during the Falklands War in 1982.〔 Black was an inspirational leader to his crew: this was reflected by the Ship's company designing T-shirts with 'There and Back with JJ Black' emblazoned across the front. This slogan later gave Black the title ('There and Back') of his memoirs.〔Black, Jeremy ''There and Back: The Memoirs of Admiral Sir Jeremy Black GBE, KCB, DSO'', Elliott & Thompson, 2005, ISBN 978-1-904027-41-6〕 In October 1982, Black was promoted Rear-Admiral and appointed Commander of the First Flotilla.〔 This was followed a position in the Ministry of Defence as Assistant Chief of the Naval Staff in 1984 before being appointed Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff (Systems) in 1986.〔 He became Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command in 1989.〔 He retired in 1991.〔 In retirement Admiral Black held the posts of Rear-Admiral and then Vice-Admiral of the United Kingdom.
