Chief of Navy (Sweden)

Until 1936 the Swedish monarch was the Supreme Commander of the Swedish Armed Forces and had formally maintained the Chief of the Navy position together with the Chief of the Military Office of the Minister of Defence in the Ministry of Defence, which is in fact maintained the position. The position of a single professional "Chief of the Navy" ({{langx|sv|Chefen för marinen}}, CM) was established in 1936 in accordance with the Defence Act of 1936. The position of Chief of the Navy existed from 1936 to 1994 and during this time it was his responsibility to lead the navy units production and development. During the period 1936 to 1961 the Chief of the Navy also had an operational commanding responsibility for the naval forces.{{cite book|title=Försvarets traditioner i framtiden med översiktlig historik från 1500-talet |url=http://www.sfhm.se/globalassets/__media/pdfer-och-dokument/verksamhet/forsvarets-traditionsnamnd/skriften-med-bilagor/traditionsnamnden_forsvarets_traditioner_i_framtiden_med_oversiktlig_historik_fran_1500_talet_reviderad_2016-03-30.pdf |year=2015 |publisher=Statens försvarshistoriska museer TradN |language=sv |isbn=9789197859554 |id={{SELIBR|17552963}} |page=12 |url-status=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160817031003/http://www.sfhm.se/globalassets/__media/pdfer-och-dokument/verksamhet/forsvarets-traditionsnamnd/skriften-med-bilagor/traditionsnamnden_forsvarets_traditioner_i_framtiden_med_oversiktlig_historik_fran_1500_talet_reviderad_2016-03-30.pdf |archivedate=2016-08-17 }}

Following a larger reorganization of the Swedish Armed Forces in 1994, the staff agency Chief of the Navy ceased to exist as an independent agency. Instead, the post Chief of Navy Command ({{langx|sv|Chefen för marinledningen}}) was created at the then newly instituted Swedish Armed Forces Headquarters. In 1998, the Swedish Armed Forces was again reorganized. Most of the duties of the Chief of Navy Command were transferred to the newly instituted post of "Inspector General of the Navy" ({{langx|sv|Generalinspektören för marinen}}). The post is similar to that of the "Inspector General of the Swedish Army" ({{langx|sv|Generalinspektören för armén}}) and the "Inspector General of the Swedish Air Force" ({{langx|sv|Generalinspektören för flygvapnet}}).{{cite web |url=http://data.riksdagen.se/dokument/GL02F%C3%B63 |publisher=Riksdag |title=Motion till riksdagen 1997/98:Fö3 |author=Nordgren, Annika |date=24 February 1998 |access-date=11 March 2016 |language=sv |display-authors=etal}} It was later renamed to "Inspector of the Navy" ({{langx|sv|Marininspektören}}) on 1 January 2003.

On 1 January 2014, the "Chief of Navy" ({{langx|sv|Marinchefen}}, MC) position was reinstated in the Swedish Armed Forces. The position has not the same duties as before.{{cite web |url=http://www.forsvarsmakten.se/sv/aktuellt/2013/12/nya-namn-pa-nya-poster/?section=15809 |publisher=Swedish Armed Forces |title=Nya namn på nya poster |trans-title=New names for new positions |date=20 December 2013 |access-date=11 March 2016 |language=sv}}

A command flag of the Chief of Navy, drawn by Brita Grep and embroidered by hand by the company Libraria, was introduced during the reign of Gustaf VI Adolf (1950–1973). Blazon: "Fessed in yellow and blue; on yellow two blue batons of command with sets of yellow crowns placed two and one in saltire, on blue an anchor erect cabled over two gun barrels of older pattern in saltire, all yellow."{{cite book |url=http://www.sfhm.se/contentassets/84a6e4f1b2ce4e2b96c4ba578a41c503/sfhm-skriftserie_svenska-armens-falttecken-efter-millennieskiftet_av_christian-braunstein.pdf |last=Braunstein |first=Christian |title=Svenska försvarsmaktens fälttecken efter millennieskiftet |trans-title=The flags and standards of the Swedish armed forces after the turn of the millennium |series=Skrift / Statens försvarshistoriska museer, 1101-7023 ; 7 [dvs 8] |year=2004 |publisher=Statens försvarshistoriska museer |location=Stockholm |language=sv |isbn=91-971584-7-X |id={{SELIBR|9815350}} |page=107 |access-date=2018-06-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180522042235/http://www.sfhm.se/contentassets/84a6e4f1b2ce4e2b96c4ba578a41c503/sfhm-skriftserie_svenska-armens-falttecken-efter-millennieskiftet_av_christian-braunstein.pdf |archive-date=2018-05-22 |url-status=dead }}

A new command flag manufactured by Handarbetets Vänner Ateljé, which is a subcontractor to the Swedish Army Museum, was completed in 2020. The flag is embroidered by Jennie Jakobsson and Katarina Öberg. Parts of the preparatory work were done by Anna Eriksson and printed by Marie-Louise Sjöblom. The model drawing was made by Henrik Dahlström, who previously served at the National Archives of Sweden and who is now a heraldic artist and graphic designer at the Swedish Armed Forces Headquarters. The new command flag was nailed in solemn forms at the Maritime Museum in Stockholm on 10 September 2021 with six former Chiefs of Navy: Vice Admiral Dick Börjesson (1990–1994), Vice Admiral Peter Nordbeck (1994–1998), Rear Admiral Anders Grenstad (2005–2011), Vice Admiral Jan Thörnqvist (2011–2016), Rear Admiral Jens Nykvist (2016–2020), and the then Chief of Navy, Rear Admiral Ewa Skoog Haslum (2020–2024).{{cite web |url=https://sfhm.se/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Nytt-kommandotecken-for-marinchefen-spikades-2021-09-10-utgava-2021-09-22.pdf |publisher=Statens försvarshistoriska museers/Försvarets traditionsnämnd |title=Nytt kommandotecken för marinchefen spikades under högtidliga former på Sjöhistoriska muséet 2021-09-10 med sex marinchefer närvarande |pages=1–2 |date=2021-09-22 |access-date=28 March 2022 |language=sv}}
