| − | A '''Naval Aide-de-Camp''' was an officer of the [[Royal Navy]] appointed by the British monarch. They were eleven in number, one of whom was usually an {{AdmRN}} and was styled [[First and Principal Naval Aide-de-Camp]]. The other ten were Post-{{CaptRN}}s, who relinquished the appointment when promoted to the {{RearRN}}. Of the Captains six were paid and four unpaid. The editor has been unable to ascertain the origins of this position, or even when the number was fixed at eleven. The Monarch could also appoint Personal Naval Aides-de-Camp (naval officers who were members of or related to the Royal family) or Honorary Naval Aides-de-Camp (e.g. [[John Reginald Thomas Fullerton|Sir James R. T. Fullerton]]).
