The Fleet Reserve consisted of warships of the Royal Navy which were not in full commission but were available for service at relatively short notice. It was divided into two divisions:
A Division.—Ships ready for service at 48 hours' notice.
B Division.—Ships ready for service at about 30 days' notice.[1]
The Fleet Reserves, formed in 1892 from the Steam Reserves, and replaced by the Nucleus Crew System in 1905, were organised on a geographical basis at the Royal Dockyards. The ships were manned by working parties drawn from the Naval Depôts.[2]
