It is not to be confused with the naval office of Third Sea Lord and Controller of the Navy which existed in various guises through the years, with a hiatus between 1912 and 1918. The position of Controller was created for Sir Eric Geddes, who was succeeded by Sir Alan Anderson. Anderson resigned the position on 17 June, 1918, and on 11 november it was reincorporated with the office of Third Sea Lord.
