Navy Board (1964-present)

The Navy Board is the body responsible for the day-to-day running of the Royal Navy.[1] Its composition is similar to that of the Admiralty Board of the Defence Council of the United Kingdom, except that it does not include any of Her Majesty's Ministers.[2] The Board shares a name with its historic predecessor, the Navy Board of 1546 to 1832, but is unrelated in structure or membership.

For the predecessor organisation (1546 to 1832), see Navy Board.
