The Royal Navy was the sea arm of the military of the British Empire and the parent service of the Royal Sky Fleet.
History[]
The parent service of the Royal Sky Fleet, it was much in conflict with itself in the early days of leviathans.
After Captain Jackie Fisher brought glory to the Navy by bringing the first HML Leviathan to flight, he was promoted to Admiral and made Admiral-Superintendent of the Portsmouth Shipyard: having shown up the French in the sky, the Navy wished to redirect those resources toward improving their traditional forces. [1][2][3][4][5] The 1891 Naval Review, however, saw the Navy and, more importantly, Queen Victoria humiliated when the French had leviathans while the British brought none. She fired the First Sea Lord and created the office of Third Sky Lord, aerial counterpart to the Third Sea Lord, for Fisher.[6][7]
Fisher began to remake the Navy with an eye toward the supremacy of these new flying vessels. The Spencer Program was cancelled, and the Majestic-class battleships sold to the Empire of Japan.[8][9]
In time, Fisher rose to be Second Sea Lord and finally First Sea Lord, leaving control of the overall service in the hands of its youngest child service.[10][11]
