The Dockyard Reserve consisted of warships of the Royal Navy which were not in full commission. It was divided into three divisions:
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.[1]
The Dockyard Reserves, formed from the Steam Reserves in 1892, and superseded in 1905 by the Nucleus Crew System, were organised on a geographical basis at the Royal Dockyards.
