Admiral-Superintendent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Admiral-Superintendent was the Royal Navy officer in command of a larger Naval Dockyard. Portsmouth, Devonport and Chatham all had Admiral-Superintendents, as did some other dockyards in the United Kingdom and abroad at certain times. The Admiral-Superintendent usually held the rank of Rear-Admiral. His deputy was the Captain of the Port.
Some smaller dockyards, such as Sheerness, had a Captain-Superintendent instead.
