At the beginning of the First World War Chatham was one the Royal Navy’s three ‘manning ports’ together with Plymouth and Portsmouth - manned by men allocated to the Chatham Division, a role that was to continue until the advent of central manning in 1956. After which Chatham became home to the reserve, or standby fleet.[1] It existed from 1891 to 1961. HistoryIn 1890, the Royal Navy Depot in Chatham was founded. A new permanent shore base the Royal Naval barracks were purpose-built to provide accommodation and training facilities for the men of the reserve fleet who were waiting to be appointed to ships. Designed by Colonel Henry Pilkington, construction of the barracks began in 1897 and completed in December 1902.[2]. At the beginning of the First World War Chatham was one of three ‘manning ports' (including Porstmouth and Plymouth) of the Royal Navy with ships, manned and allocated to the Chatham Division, a role that continued until the advent of central manning in 1956.[3] In 1942, King George VI made a visit to Medway and the HMS Pembroke, the Royal Naval Barracks at Chatham. In 1957, the barracks and gunnery school were closed due to the local port divisions being replaced. When the Nore Command (operational commander of the Royal Navy) ended in March 1961, the barracks were being used as an accommodation center for the re-fitting crews of the dockyard. The Drill Shed and Canteen were being used by the Dockyard. In 1959, the barracks re-opened as the Royal Naval Supply School, who trained staff in supply and secretarial work. In 1970, all Naval establishments in Chatham were to be combined together and known as HM Navy Base, under one officer 'Flag Officer, Medway and Port Admiral'.
