The Royal Navy Chaplaincy Service provides chaplains to the Royal Navy. The chaplains are commissioned by the Sovereign but do not hold military rank other than that of "Chaplain Royal Navy". They are usually addressed as Padre, Reverend or more informally Bish. Chaplains are recruited from a number of Christian denominations. The senior chaplain in the Royal Navy is the Chaplain of the Fleet (Chp FLT) Andrew Hillier: an Anglican priest, he is also the Archdeacon for the Royal Navy.
