''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.''&mdash;Ships not likely to be used again.<ref>''Appendix C. Repairs of the Fleet''.  p. 59.  {{TNA|ADM 116/942.}}</ref>
