Admiralty

rdfs:comment

Admiralty is the body of private and public law dealing with ships and those matters dealing with ships, such as ship's personnel, ports, the high seas, navigation and the financing of ships. It is one of the earliest forms of international law and largely exists to establish a common body of law and practice between nations regarding these matters. It is one of the reasons many aspect of shipping are identical in almost every country, such as the rule that vessels under power must always yield to vessels under sail. The Admiralty is a group of military leaders in the Alliance Fleet who advise the civilian government of the Systems Alliance. This group is comprised of six members, one service chief from each of the five branches, and an overall leader referred to as the "Chairman of the Admiralty". The Admiralty was an organization of high admirals within the Imperial Navy of the Galactic Empire. They were on par with Naval Command. The Admiralty was the authority in the Star Kingdom of Manticore responsible for the command of the Royal Manticoran Navy. The Lords of Admiralty were civilian officials who controlled the Navy through seven space lords, active senior RMN officers. The Lords were subordinated to the Minister of War. (HH1) The main offices was located in the Admiralty Building in the capital city of Landing. (HH6) A navy requires an administration to keep ships manned, supplied at sea, to keep dockyards well stocked and ready, and bring order to the large organisation.

n12:abstract

A navy requires an administration to keep ships manned, supplied at sea, to keep dockyards well stocked and ready, and bring order to the large organisation. Even more than an army, a fleet is a highly technical and very expensive organisation. The land-bound officers of an admiralty oversee every aspect of organisation, making sure that sea-going captains want for nothing when they finally engage the enemy. A dockyard is useless unless someone has organisd the supply of timber; the timber remains stacked on the wharf until someone approves the naval architect's plans; a completed ship is useless without officers and men; and the crew expects to eat, be paid and receive prize money. All of these tasks require clerks, secretaries and experienced admirals to keep the inevitable paperwork in order and thus the machinery of a navy working. Historically, the head of admiralty could expect to have a senior position in government and untrammelled access to the monarch or president. He was often spending a significant proportional of the national wealth: navies and their dockyards were some of the biggest "industrial" enterprises in the world during the 18th Century. A powerful and effective navy guaranteed that trade could continue, unimpeded by nefarious foreigners! The Admiralty was the authority in the Kingdom of England, and later in Great Britain and until 1964 in the United Kingdom, responsible for the command of the Royal Navy. Originally exercised by a single person, the Lord High Admiral, the Admiralty was from the early 18th century onwards almost invariably put "in commission" and exercised by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, who sat on the Board of Admiralty. In 1964, the functions of the Admiralty were transferred to a new Admiralty Board, which is a committee of the tri-service Defence Council of the United Kingdom and part of the Ministry of Defence. The new Admiralty Board meets only twice a year, and the day-to-day running of the Royal Navy is controlled by a Navy Board (not to be confused with the historical Navy Board described later in this article). It is common for the various authorities now in charge of the Royal Navy to be referred to as simply The Admiralty. The title of Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom was vested in the Sovereign from 1964 to 2011. The title was awarded to The Duke of Edinburgh by the Queen on his 90th birthday. There also continues to be a Vice-Admiral of the United Kingdom and a Rear-Admiral of the United Kingdom, both of which are honorary offices. Admiralty is the body of private and public law dealing with ships and those matters dealing with ships, such as ship's personnel, ports, the high seas, navigation and the financing of ships. It is one of the earliest forms of international law and largely exists to establish a common body of law and practice between nations regarding these matters. It is one of the reasons many aspect of shipping are identical in almost every country, such as the rule that vessels under power must always yield to vessels under sail. Many jurisdictions have special Admiralty courts. In jurisdictions where there is a lot of shipping, the practice of many lawyers is often dominated by Admiralty law. The basic rule of Admiralty is that the law that applies onboard any particular ship, both criminal law and civil law, is determined by the ship's "flag", or the country where it is currently registered. Ships are required to fly their flag of registration to clearly indicate this fact. They are also required to clearly display their port of registration on the rear of the ship, as well as the ship's name. This information indicates where the ship's records are kept, so that the ship's title can be checked to determine it's owners, as well as other records, such as any security interest against the ship. As such, the laws of local ports where the ship might be may have limited application to that ship. For example, a ship registered in the United States that is used in the United States for a criminal purpose may be subject to forfeiture to the government. However, if that ship is registered elsewhere, the law of the jurisdiction where the ship is registered applies because a U.S. court has no jurisdiction over a ship registry in another country. Similarly, competing claims against the ship generally must be settled in the manner they would be settled in the ship's home port rather than the port where the ship is presently held.
