The Naval Intelligence Division (from 1912 to 1918 the Intelligence Division) was the intelligence-gathering body of the Royal Navy's Admiralty War Staff and successor Naval Staff.

History

As constituted on 8 January, 1912, the Intelligence Division was composed of a Director, an Assistant Director, fourteen Naval and Marine officers, and thirteen civilian staff.[1] The first Director, Captain Thomas Jackson, had been Assistant Director of Naval Intelligence in the Naval Intelligence Department and Head of Foreign Division. The Assistant Director, Captain Maurice S. FitzMaurice, had been additional Assistant Director of Naval Intelligence in the N.I.D.

Great War

Commander Gilbert Stephenson, an officer in the Intelligence Division, later commented:

The system in the War Room at the start was very inadequate. None of the Commanders on duty there was able to take action without the approval of a Post-Captain. This was quite ridiculous, and I said so! My suggestion for more delegation of authority was not approved.
But when I worked as a Duty Commander - 24 hours on, 48 hours off - there was no question of referring everything to senior officers. The messages that came in had to be acted upon - and of course that suited me much better.[2]

According to Dr. Nicholas Black, 206 Royal Navy officers served in the division during the war.[3]

At some point between 18 March, 1918,[4] and 18 June, 1918, the division was renamed the Naval Intelligence Division and the director became the Director of Naval Intelligence once more.[5]

This section was under D.N.I. and the Chief Censor. An office memorandum of 27 January, 1918, outlined the duties of the section staff as shown in the table below. At some point in 1918 the section became an independent Naval Publicity Department.
