History

[edit]

Formed on 1 May 1912 from the Third Division of theHome Fleet, its ships were manned by a nucleus crew during peacetime, but were intended to be manned by men from the naval schools when mobilised.[1] It reported directly to theCommander-in-Chief, Home Fleets. The fleetwas mobilised in late July 1914 as tensions increased between Great Britain andImperial Germany and remained on active duty until war was declared on 4 August.[2] It reformed the Channel Fleet upon the declaration of war and consisted of the Fifth and Sixth Battle Squadrons, equipped with a total of 15pre-dreadnought battleships and the majority of the Home Defence Patrol Flotillas.[3]
