Administrative history
The Naval Council was established in 1940. Its object was to determine matters of policy and to deal with administration and procedure generally within the Naval Service. The Naval Council was comprised of the Minister of National Defense for Naval Services, the Deputy Minister of National Defense for Naval Services, the Chief of the Naval Staff, the Director of the Naval Intelligence, the Director of Plans Division and the Secretary to the Naval Council. Other Associate members of the Council, including the Directors of Operations, Personnel and Engineering, were called in when required. The Naval Council was abolished in early 1942 and its responsibilities were divided between a Naval Board and a Naval Staff.
