The Queenstown Command (Cobh, Co. Cork) centered at Admiralty House was the head of naval operations on the island of Ireland during the Great War. The command became of increasing and later of critical importance to the allied naval powers in maintaining the sea-lanes and bringing this theatre of war to its final victorious conclusion. It was also the main operational center of the U.S. Navy in Europe and was of some importance in the development and planning of naval strategies, tactics and technologies.
