He is appointed by the Sovereign on the nomination of the First Sea Lord , and his name is published in the '' London Gazette '' by the Home Office . The Vice-Admiral of the United Kingdom retires at 70 years of age.

In former days, the Vice-Admiral of England (or '''Vice-Admiral of Great Britain''' following the 1707 union with Scotland ) was the second most powerful position in the Royal Navy, and until 1801 was officially called the ''' Lieutenant Of The Admiralty '''. The office was created in 1545 by Tudor King Henry VIII . Amongst other responsibilities, the Lieutenant of the Admiralty presided over the Council Of The Marine , later known as the Navy Board.

Below the office of Vice-Admiral ranks the Rear-Admiral Of The United Kingdom , another now honorary office.
