The honorary role, which dates back to the early 16th century and was first held by King Henry VIII of England, was formally conferred during a ceremony aboard the Royal Navy's hunter-killer submarine, as the vessel marks the end of its first commission. The longest of any Royal Navy submarine. The Queen is the first female and only second member of the Royal Family to hold the title.
