History

On 16 November, 1905, Fisher told the Committee on Navy Estimates:

Four years ago there were fifteen battleships in the Mediterranean fleet and only six battleships in the Channel fleet. Now there are seventeen battleships in the Channel fleet and only eight battleships in the Mediterranean, and that number is really unnecessarily large, for the sole requirements of the Mediterranean fleet, now we are so cordially associated with France, is to coerce the sultan, as the Russian navy has practically ceased to exist, and Austria and Italy will never be our foes.[1]

On 1 June, 1912, Admiral Milne's flag was hoisted in the President in the Thames. On 3 June, upon Rear-Admiral Gamble's flag being struck in the Good Hope at Portsmouth, Milne's was hoisted in that ship.[2]

In July, 1914, it was planned that Invincible would go to the Mediterranean when Tiger was ready. All four battle cruisers in the Mediterranean would return home by December, 1915. In the fourth quarter of 1915 five dreadnought battleships would be sent to the Mediterranean with two pre-dreadnought battleships. The number of dreadnoughts was to be increased to seven in April, 1917.[3]
