The Naval Intelligence Department was a department of the Admiralty
History
The Department as founded was composed of two sections, each under an Assistant Director of Naval Intelligence. Section I under Captain Sydney M. Eardley Wilmot, absorbed the duties of the Foreign Intelligence Committee. Section II under Captain Reginald N. Custance was responsible for drawing up schemes of mobilisation.[1]
By February, 1900, a third Assistant Director was appointed to deal solely with mobilisation. There were now three divisions of the department, each under an Assistant Director. One division dealt with mobilisation, one with war orders, and one with foreign intelligence.[2] In 1902 a Trade Division under a fourth Assistant Director was added to consider the defence of British trade during War.[3] In 1905 a Coastal Defence Division was also added.[4]
