The college became much more than a school for junior officers. It hosted the Royal Navy War College and Women's Royal Naval Service training as the service's educational needs widened. From 1959, its nuclear science and technology department used the low-powered JASON research and training reactor, commissioned in the King William Building in 1962, to support instruction associated with nuclear-submarine propulsion. The Joint Services Defence College also operated at Greenwich before command-and-staff education consolidated at Shrivenham in the 1990s. These changes show the Navy adapting Greenwich to successive technological and organizational demands while preparing officers for emerging forms of warfare.
