During the First World War, the [[Anti-Submarine Division (Royal Navy)|Anti-Submarine Division]] of the [[Admiralty Naval Staff]] had established experimental stations. In 1915 The first Admiralty Experimental Station was set up by the Admiralty at [[Aberdour]], [[Fife]], Scotland under the supervision of the Physicist Dr. [[Albert Beaumont Wood]].{{cite web |last1=Wood |first1=Albert Beaumont |title=Admiralty: Scientific Research and Experiment Department and Royal Naval Scientific Service: Papers of Dr Albert B Wood, Physicist |url=http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C1926 |website=www.discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C1926 |publisher=National Archives UK |access-date=1 February 2019 |language=en |date=1912–1964}} In 1917 it moved its location to [[Parkeston Quay]], England. The experimental station worked with the Lancashire Anti-Submarine Committee and the Clyde Anti-Submarine Committee. In 1919 it moved its headquarters back to Scotland at [[Shandon, Argyll]]. In 1921 its remit was expanded and it was renamed the [[Admiralty Research Laboratory]] when it moved to [[Teddington]], England.{{cite web |title=Admiralty: Admiralty Experimental Station and Admiralty Research Laboratory: Correspondence and Papers |url=http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C1921 |website=discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk |publisher=National Archives UK |access-date=1 February 2019 |language=en |date=1915–1977 |quote=ADM 212}} |
