British Adriatic Squadron

The British Adriatic Squadron, or simply the Adriatic Squadron and later known as the British Adriatic Force, was a sub-command of the Mediterranean Fleet during World War I based at Taranto from 1915–19.

History
In May 1915 Italy entered the war aligning itself with allied powers against the central powers however due to a lack of cooperation and coordination with French Naval Command by the Italians the British decided to enforce an allied agreement by establishing a British Adriatic Squadron to be based at Taranto. Between July and September 1917 a new reporting structure within Mediterranean Command took place following coordination between other allied powers. Britain's scope of geographic responsibility to include new sub commands would encompass the Adriatic Sea, Aegean Sea, Coast of Egypt, Gibraltar and the waters around Malta. . Following command changes in August 1917 the squadron was downgraded and renamed British Adriatic Force.
