Draft:British naval mission to Greece (1919–1921)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The British naval mission to Greece of 1919–1922, also known as the Kelly naval mission to Greece, was a mission sent by the United Kingdom to the Kingdom of Greece to reorganize, train and modernize the Hellenic Navy.

Headed by Commodore Howard Kelly, the mission was deemed successful in its training and education goals, but came up short in the areas of procurement and the establishment of a new naval arsenal due to budgetary reasons, as well as due to ambivalent British naval considerations towards Greece.
