Commanding Officers of RNEC (Manadon & Keyham)
The Roster of Commanding Officers charts the emergence of the Naval Engineering Officer Corp
at the turn of the 20th Century. Keyham was opened in 1880 and was commanded by seven successive Commanders, all seaman officers. In 1902, the position
was made a four stripe post and three more seaman officers (Capt., Rear Adm. & Capt) filled the spot. The first 'Engineer Captain' took the post in 1913 but was
succeeded by two more Captain seaman officers. In 1920, the position was once again given to a 'Engineer Captain'. From 1920, it remained a largely Captain (E) post until RNEC Manadon's closure in 1995.
Captain Littlejohns had the distinction of being the first and only Seaman Officer in Command of RNEC Manadon (1992-94)
