William Boyle 12th Earl of Cork - Senior Command in the peace time Navy
In December of 1928, he took up command of the reserve fleet, followed soon after by a stint as President of the Royal Naval College in Greenwich. He was made KCB in 1931 and became an admiral in 1932. In March of 1933, he took up command of the Home Fleet, flying his flag aboard the battleship HMS Nelson. He took down his flag on August 31, 1936 at the age of 63.
Meanwhile, in 1934, he succeeded his cousin as Earl of Cork and Oerrey and Baron Boyle of Marston. Through the latter title he became a member of the House of Lords and inherited a small estate in the English county of Somerset with its country home, Marston House.
In July 1937, he became commander-in-chief at Portsmouth, a shore position.
Cork was strongly supported by Sir Reginald Tyrwhitt and Sir Roger Keyes for the position of First Sea Lord, in 1937, to succeed Sir Ernle Chatfield, 1st Baron Chatfield, but the appointment went elsewhere. Keyes described him as "...full of character, determination and sound common sense."
In 1938, Cork was advanced to the rank of Admiral of the Fleet, the highest naval rank whose members are always on the active list. He gave up command on June 30, 1939 and retired, aged 66.
