The Fleet Reserve existed between 1891 and 1905. It consisted of warships of the Royal Navy which were not in full commission but were available for service at relatively short notice. It was divided into two divisions:
A Division.—Ships ready for service at 48 hours' notice.
B Division.—Ships ready for service at about 30 days' notice.[1]
The Fleet Reserve was formed in 1891 from the Steam Reserve.[2] The ships were manned by working parties drawn from the Naval Depôts.[3] The Fleet Reserve was replaced by the Nucleus Crew System in 1905.
