message: British Admiralty links here--but is not explained at all. Could you please add that? I'm looking for "British Admiralty" as of the early 19th century--what exactly does that refer to? Thanks, Ibn Battuta 18:26, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The subject of this article is the British Admiralty. That is Admiralty = British Admiralty. So, if you are looking for info on the British Admiralty, you'll find it here (although admittedly, there is not much on the 19th century). The other meanings of Admiralty (ex. Russion, Dutch, etc.) can be found on the disambiguation page.--SteveMtl 20:51, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Should we be listing places that the Admiralty took over during WWII?  St Boniface's Catholic College seems to only have the takeover as a link, the same could be said for Kingswood School and plenty of other institutions.  I would suggest that the school's entry adds nothing to the understanding of the Admiralty per se. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 12:36, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

message: This was a very bad name change, not least as the United Kingdom did not come into being until 1801.  “British Admiralty” had the advantage of covering both the Kingdom of Great Britain and the later period. However, the Admiralty existed even before 1707, and I agree with  and others that it is the primary topic of “Admiralty”. Moonraker (talk) 00:39, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
