:Pembroke Dockyard

{{see also|Pembroke Dock#Naval dockyards}}

It was founded in 1814, although not formally authorized until the Prince Regent signed the necessary Order in Council on 31 October 1815, and was known as Pater Yard until 1817. The Mayor of Pembroke had requested the change "in deference to the town of Pembroke some {{convert|2|mi|spell=in}} distant".Phillips, pp. 12–16

The site selected for the dockyard was greenfield land and the closest accommodations were in Pembroke. Office space was provided by the old frigate {{HMS|Lapwing|1785|2}} after she was beached. The Royal Marine garrison was housed in the hulked 74-gun ship, {{HMS|Dragon|1798|6}}, after she was run aground in 1832. Many of the workmen commuted by boat from nearby communities until Pembroke Dock town was built up.Phillips, pp. 17–20, 40 In 1860 the dockyard's policing was transferred to the new No. 4 Division of the Metropolitan Police, which remained in that role until the 1920s.{{Cite web|url=https://british-police-history.uk/f/royal-marine|title=British Police History - Royal Marine Police}}

After the end of the First World War, the dockyard was closed by the cash-strapped Admiralty as redundant in 1926. The Royal Air Force, however, built RAF Pembroke Dock on the site during the 1930s to house its flying boats, demolishing many of the existing buildings to make room for the necessary hangars and other facilities.Phillips, pp. 46–48

The admiral-superintendent{{cite web|title=Royal Naval dockyard staff|url=http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/royal-naval-dockyard-staff/|website=nationalarchives.gov.uk|publisher=The National Archives, UK, 2016|access-date=19 December 2017}} was the Royal Navy officer in command of a larger Naval Dockyard. Portsmouth, Devonport and Chatham all had admiral-superintendents, as did some other dockyards in the United Kingdom and abroad at certain times. The admiral-superintendent usually held the rank of rear-admiral. His deputy was the captain of the dockyard (or captain of the port from 1969).

Some smaller dockyards, such as Sheerness and Pembroke,{{cite book|last1=Carradice|first1=Phil|title=The Ships of Pembroke Dockyard|date=2013|publisher=Amberley|location=Stroud, Gloucs.}} had a captain-superintendent {{cite web|title=Royal Naval dockyard staff|url=http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/royal-naval-dockyard-staff/|website=nationalarchives.gov.uk|publisher=The National Archives, UK, 2016|access-date=19 December 2017}} instead, whose deputy was styled commander of the dockyard. The appointment of a commodore-superintendent {{cite book|last1=Stewart|first1=William|title=Admirals of the World: A Biographical Dictionary, 1500 to the Present|date=2009|publisher=McFarland|location=Jefferson, N.C.|isbn=9780786438099|page=47|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZFeQBQAAQBAJ&q=commodore+superintendent&pg=PA47|language=en}} was also made from time to time in certain yards.

The appointment of admiral-superintendents (or their junior equivalents) dates from 1832 when the Admiralty took charge of the Royal Dockyards. Prior to this larger dockyards were overseen by a commissioner who represented the Navy Board.
