Fifth Sea Lord

The Fifth Sea Lord was formerly one of the Naval Lords and members of the Board of Admiralty that controlled the Royal Navy.

During World War I, it was one of four additional Sea Lords created during the war to manage the Navy. It was abolished after the war.

In 1938, 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.

The post was abolished as a result of various reorganisations of the Navy since 1945^{[citation needed]}

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).
