TheAdmiralty Underwater Weapons Launching Establishment was an Admiralty research department dedicated to torpedo and mine launching gear. It was formed atWest Howe,Bournemouth in 1947 and later became part of theAdmiralty Underwater Weapons Establishment in 1959.

History

[edit]

The Admiralty's production of and research and development into launching gear for torpedoes and mines was originally carried out within facilities atHMNB Portsmouth from 1914. DuringWorld War II, with the threat of German air raids, all research and production of launching gear was moved to new premises at West Howe in 1941. Although production was relocated again in 1947, the establishment at West Howe continued to undertake research and development work. That year it was given the name the Admiralty Underwater Weapons Launching Establishment. An outstation atHorsea Island was used to conduct trials.^[1]

The establishment was closed in 1959 with the formation of the Admiralty Underwater Weapons Establishment at theIsle of Portland. The new establishment was an amalgamation of a number of Admiralty research sites, including the Launching Establishment, the Underwater Countermeasures and Weapons Establishment atHavant and the Torpedo Experimental Establishment atGreenock.^[2]

Following its closure, the West Howe site was purchased by theUnited Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority as an additional facility in connection with theWinfrith Atomic Energy Establishment. The site was sold again to theGeneral Post Office in 1967.^[3]
