      History


      As the Royal Navy's size decreased during the Cold War, commands were amalgamated. In 1969, the Home and Mediterranean Fleets were amalgamated, and on shore, the great historical garrison commands of Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth and Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth were combined in July 1969. The result was Naval Home Command.
      In 1992 establishments under the command's jurisdiction included Flag Officer, Portsmouth; Flag Officer Plymouth; activities at Portland; Flag Officer Scotland and Northern Ireland; Commodore HMNB Clyde; Training; Reserves; and Chief Executive Marine Services.
      In 1976 the last Admiral Commanding, Reserves hauled down his flag.
