The Director of Torpedoes and Mining (D.T.M.) was head of the department of the Admiralty created when the Torpedo Department, formerly a branch of the Naval Ordnance Department, was made an executive body in its own right in April 1917. The role would cease to exist in its own right in 1969.[1]

By 1927, the Director of Torpedoes and Mining was positioned with the Director of Naval Construction, Director of Naval Equipment, Director of Naval Ordnance, Chief Superintendent of Armament Supply, Engineer-in-Chief, Director of Electrical Engineering, Director of Dockyards, Director of Compass Department, Director of Signal Department, and Director of Scientific Research under the control of the Third Sea Lord and Controller.[2]
