New buildings and reorganized colleges gave physical form to a broader effort to study technology, tactics, operations, and strategy more systematically. Britannia Royal Naval College at Dartmouth was built during the reform, while engineering education was intended to move from Keyham to Greenwich, described here as the Navy's university. The Royal Naval War College moved among Greenwich, Plymouth, and Portsmouth and continued through senior-officer education after its nominal 1914 endpoint. The 1902 memorandum joined executive, engineering, and Marine entrants under the same initial conditions before distribution among the fleet's essential branches.
