HMS Vernon (shore establishment)
HMS ''Vernon'' was a shore establishment or 'stone frigate' of the Royal Navy. ''Vernon'' was established on 26 April 1876 as the Royal Navy's Torpedo Branch, named after the ship HMS Vernon which served as part of its floating base. After the First World War, HMS Vernon moved ashore, taking over the Gunwharf site, where it continued to operate until 1 April 1996 when the various elements comprising the establishment were split up and moved to different commands.
==Foundation and early history==
The second ship to be called HMS ''Vernon'' ended her career laid up in Chatham Dockyard as a floating coaling jetty. In 1872 she was moved to become a tender to HMS ''Excellent'' for torpedo and mining training. In 1874 she was joined by HMS ''Vesuvius'', an iron screw torpedo vessel. ''Vesuvius'' was attached as an Experimental Tender for the conduct of torpedo trials, and remained in the role until 1923.
On 26 April 1876 ''Vernon'' was joined by the former steam frigate HMS ''Ariadne'' and the lighter ''Florence Nightingale''. These were then commissioned as HMS ''Vernon'', and became the home of the Royal Navy's Torpedo Branch, independent of HMS ''Excellent''. ''Ariadne'' was used to provide accommodation. In January 1886 HMS ''Donegal'' replaced the original ''Vernon'' as a more spacious torpedo school ship. ''Donegal'' was renamed ''Vernon'', the original ''Vernon'' was renamed ''Actaeon'' and took over as the practical workshop.
On 23 April 1895 the hulks were moved to Portchester Creek. ''Ariadne'' was replaced as an accommodation hulk by the old HMS ''Marlborough'', which was renamed ''Vernon II'' and was connected by bridges to ''Actaeon'' and ''Vernon'', jointly named ''Vernon I''. In 1904 HMS ''Warrior'' joined the establishment as a floating workshop, power plant and wireless telegraphy school, renamed ''Vernon III''. Meanwhile, ''Actaeon'' was renamed ''Vernon IV''. Also in 1904 ''Ariadne'' was detached and sent to Sheerness to be used to establish a new torpedo school. She was renamed ''Actaeon'' in 1905.
