Inquiry about shore establishment articles Royal Navy
Hi I need some clarification in regards in the way shore establishment articles for the Royal Navy have been set up on investigating the official Royal Navy source The Navy List in multiple versions of it (1815 to 1970) there is a section heading titled: Flag Officers in Commission, Officers Commanding Squadrons, Senior Naval Officers, Naval Officers that appears at the top of the page followed by a table with five columns the first one is listed as Stations if its a major command it is bolded followed by its sub-command or sub-area who are also listed as stations unbolded. The second column is the stations flag ship or ship borne-in, third column is flag officers, officers commanding squadrons/ senior naval Officers/ naval officers etc the fourth column is chief of staff/flag captain etc and finally the stations secretary. I cannot find any version of the same section heading in any of the navy lists from 1820 to 1970 listing any reference to shore establishment in any of the columns it lists naval stations. So my question is why do we have for e.g. HMS Badger (shore establishment) when it was the base flag ship of the Harwich Station the navy list uses the term station interchangeably to mean an administrative or geographic or operational command or can be a station with all those functions anyone thanks.--Navops47 (talk) 11:16, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
