Background
History
A Tyne-based division of the Royal Naval Reserve was established in 1905, and used the old Calypso-class third-class cruiser as its drill ship. She served until 1951, when she was sold for scrapping, and was replaced by the Shoreham-class sloop HMS Falmouth. Falmouth was renamed Calliope, and was berthed at Elswick. She served until 1968, when she too was sold for scrapping, after the Tyne Division moved ashore to a new headquarters, which retained the name HMS Calliope. In October 1985 it was awarded a place on the Roll of Honorary Freeman of the City of Newcastle.
