The Naval Ordnance Department, also known as the Department of the Director of Naval Ordnance, was a department at the Admiralty responsible for the gunnery materiel of the Royal Navy. Until 1917 it was also responsible for torpedoes and mines. The department was headed by a Director. The Naval Ordnance Stores Department and the Chief Inspector of Naval Ordnance's department also came under the Naval Ordnance Department at various times.

History

A Director-General of Naval Ordnance was appointed at the Admiralty in 1866, which title became Director of Naval Ordnance by 1869. The Junior Sea Lord, Charles F. Hotham, was still using the term Director General of Naval Ordnance in 1888, however.[1]

Captain Arthur K. Wilson, appointed Assistant Director of Torpedoes on 7 March, 1887, wrote on 13 March:

… I understand I am to be called Assistant Director of Torpedoes, Captain Fisher being called Director of Naval Ordnance and Torpedoes, instead of only Director of Naval Ordnance. I made a slight protest, but was told it was all settled and could not be altered. It is rather as if they had offered me a situation as cook and then made me scullery-maid. They are going to be very liberal in the matter of pay, however, as they propose to give me £950 a year, and I was rather glad to see that in explaining the matter to get the money out of the Treasury the Admiralty were obliged to say that, although I was called Assistant Director, I should have the greater part of the work of the Director …[2]

Captain John A. Fisher, the then-Director of Naval Ordnance, became Director of Naval Ordnance and Torpedoes.

During the tenures of Captains Jackson and Bethell the Assistant Director of Torpedoes was styled the Assistant Director of Naval Ordnance, before reverting to the original title with the appointment of a gunnery officer, Captain Tudor, as Assistant Director of Naval Ordnance in 1906.

In a note of 12 December, 1911, the First Lord, Winston S. Churchill, ordered that the title of Director of Naval Ordnance be altered to "Director of Naval Armaments" as from 1 January, 1912, so that the initialism "D.N.O." could be applied to the "Director of Naval Operations Division" of the new Admiralty War Staff. However, at the suggestion of Prince Louis of Battenberg this latter title was changed to Director of the Operations Division (D.O.D.).[3]

In 1913 the department absorbed the staff and duties of the Inspector of Target Practice.

On 1 March, 1917, when Captain Frederic C. Dreyer succeeded Singer, the torpedo branch was devolved into the Department of the Director of Torpedoes and Mining under Rear-Admiral The Hon. Edward S. Fitzherbert, and Dreyer became Director of Naval Ordnance.[4]

Dreyer would tell a high-level meeting of Naval Staff officers (presided over by the Second Sea Lord) in 1920 that:

Terrible mistakes were made in pre-war days and we had very bad ammunition largely because the D.N.O.s were overloaded with work of widely different natures, such as materiel and training and requirements.
It would be grossly unfair to blame the very able D.N.O.s of the past for the mistakes made - it was the fault of the system.[5]
