The Royal Navy's Annual Manoeuvres of 1903 were conducted between 5 and 11 August, 1903 by the combined Mediterranean, Home and Channel Fleets in company with the Cruiser Squadron.
Order of Battle
The exercise was conducted in the form of "X" and "B" Fleets, as had been a practice since at least 1901. Some of the ships participating were already in full commission, whereas others were to be completed to full complement, and others were commissioned from a fully reserve state.
The Times reported that Alan Montagu Yeats-Brown commanded T.B. 82 and Arthur Kipling Waistell was in T.B. 109 in the Manoeuvres, but their service records it the other way around and Yeats-Brown's Service Record contains an inspection of T.B. 109. I've concluded that Waistell commanded T.B. 82 and Yeats-Brown commanded T.B. 109 for this exercise.
