TheFlag Officer Scotland and Northern Ireland (FOSNI) was a senior post in theRoyal Navy of theUnited Kingdom. It was based atHM Naval Base Clyde, and the holder of the post was the Royal Navy's senior officer in Scotland.[1] The post of FOSNI, dating from 1946, was re-scoped and re-named in 1994 toFlag Officer Scotland, Northern England & Northern Ireland (FOSNNI), then named back in 2015, before being dis-established in 2020.[why?]

History

[edit]

The Flag Officer Scotland and Northern Ireland was the most senior naval position in Scotland and is the successor to appointments starting with the Senior Officer on the Coast of Scotland, established in 1913, just prior to the outbreak of theFirst World War. The title was altered to Commander-in-Chief, Rosyth in 1916. From 1946 the post became the Flag Officer Scotland & Northern Ireland. Between 1961 and 1994 the Flag Officer Scotland and Northern Ireland was triple-hatted as Commander Northern Sub-Area (NORLANT) ofAllied Command Atlantic (ACLANT), and as Commander Nore Sub-Area Channel (NORECHAN) ofAllied Command Channel. Based atRAF Pitreavie Castle, NORECHAN was tasked to preventSoviet Navy ships and submarines from entering the North Sea. When the command moved from Rosyth to HMNB Clyde in 1994, it took responsibility for a larger area, becoming the Flag Officer Scotland, Northern England and Northern Ireland.[2] In 2015 the post reverted to Flag Officer Scotland and Northern Ireland. The post was removed under the Royal Navy's Navy Command Transformation Programme and renamed Commodore Submarine Service (COSM).[3]

Major subordinatestone frigates under C-in-C Rosyth on the outbreak of the Second World War includedHMS Flora at Invergordon; HMS Bacchante (a shore establishment) at Aberdeen,HMS Claverhouse at Leith, andHMS Calliope on the Tyne.[4]Bacchante had been commanded by theSenior Naval Officer, Aberdeen from 1915 to 1919[5] and then theFlag Officer-in-Charge, Aberdeen from 1942 to 1945.[6] Wartime subsidiary bases includedAultbea onLoch Ewe.[7] Facilities at Aultbea were established in February 1915 duringWorld War I and partially deactivated in April 1919. Aultbea was reactivated duringWorld War II in 1940 following theGerman attack on Scapa Flow and subsequent sinking ofHMS Royal Oak, when theHome Fleet was temporarily based there.[8] It was also a staging point forarctic convoys that operated out ofLoch Ewe. It remained in operation until October 1967.[9]
