The Fleet Reserve and the Dockyard Reserve consisted of warships of the Royal Navy which were not in full commission but were available for service at various levels of notice.
History
They were formed in 1891 from the Steam Reserve.[1] The ships were manned by working parties drawn from the Naval Depôts.[2]
The Fleet Reserve was divided into two divisions:[3]
- A Division.—Ships ready for service at 48 hours' notice.
- B Division.—Ships ready for service at about 30 days' notice.
The Dockyard Reserve had three further divisions for more elderly vessels or those under protracted refit:[4]
- C Division.—Ships under or awaiting refit, and which retained their stores on board.
- D Division.—Ships under or awaiting thorough overhaul. New ships building or completing.
- E Division.—Ships not likely to be used again.
Both Reserves were replaced by the Nucleus Crew System in 1905.
