The attached table at Annex A outlines the total number of promotions, male and female, at all ranks that have taken place within the Naval Service within the past three years to date as advised by the Military Authorities. Please note that the 2012 figures have been updated and differ slightly from those given in reply to Question Number 419 of 18 June 2013.

A number of promotions are ongoing within the Naval Service in order to fill rank vacancies. It is my intention that promotions will continue to be made in order to fill rank vacancies within the resource envelope allocated to Defence.

Promotions in the Naval Service: 2011 to date Annex A

Note: Army Service Ranks and Equilavent Navy Service Ranks
