Royal Navy appoints Jersey woman as first female admiral Royal Navy appoints Jersey woman as first female admiral

Its taken a long time, congratulations to Commodore Jude Terry.

Something that puzzles me is why the announcement has been made but the actual appointment isn’t until August 2022. I appreciate that the role may not be vacated by the present incumbent until then, but is it usual to announce the successor so far in advance?

It is not normal to tell the world when a rear admiral is appointed........... What does it matter if she is female or male anyway? Oh silly me!

I just love her no nonsense responses to being the first female, spot on, good for her. Huzzah!

Pity there are almost no ships for her to admiral.

Pity there are almost no ships for her to admiral.

How many ships do you think the RN has and anyway, what job is she being promoted into?

The aviating equivalent;

Pity there are almost no ships for her to admiral.

Ships don't get admirals, fleets or task forces do.

More Ships than Admirals? Thoughts on the cull to RN 2* Numbers

Commodore Jude Terry, 47, will be the most senior woman in the Royal Navy, past or present, after her promotion to rear admiral.

After serving her nation for nearly a quarter of a century, Commodore Terry will be responsible for sailors and Royal Marines from the moment they are recruited to their final day in service.
She will be promoted to rear admiral next year and take over as the Royal Navy’s director of people and training and Naval Secretary.
