Admiralty
It evolved from *Admiralty Navy War Council, (1909–1912) which in turn became the Admiralty War Staff, (1912–1917) before finally becoming the Admiralty Naval Staff in 1917. It was the former senior command, operational planning, policy and strategy department within the British Admiralty. It was established in 1917 and existed until 1964 when the department of the Admiralty was abolished, and the staff departments function continued within the Navy Department of the Ministry of Defence until 1971 when its functions became part of the new Naval Staff, Navy Department of the Ministry of Defence.
Admiralty Shipyard
The shipyard was founded as the Galley Yard by Peter the Great during the Great Northern War on 5 November 1704 and located in the open ground along the Neva River behind the Admiralty building. It was administered by the Russian Admiralty, hence its later name. In 1721 it was renamed "Galley Wharf" and in 1800 the "New Admiralty Yard", supplementing and in 1841 soon replacing the "Galley Wharf". In 1908, it was renamed the Admiralty Shipyard. In 1937 its two sections were known as "Admiralty" and "Sudomekh", Shipyards No. 194 and No. 196, respectively. In 1966 it once again became the "New Admiralty Shipyard" as in 1800 and, in 1972, the "Leningrad Admiralty Association". The latest name changes occurred in 1992 – "State Enterprise "Admiralty Wharves"" – and in 2001 – "Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Admiralty Wharves"". Finally, in 2008, it became an open stock company – OAO "Admiralty Wharves".
