admiralty: Definition and Much More from Answers.com (1424 words)
The Admiralty was formerly the authority in the United Kingdom responsible for the command of the Royal Navy.
In 1964 the functions of the Admiralty were transferred to a new Admiralty Board, which is a committee of the tri-service Defence Council of the United Kingdom and part of the Ministry of Defence.
The Admiralty Extension (which is also one of the two buildings which are sometimes referred to as the "Old Admiralty") dates from the turn of the 20th century.
