America and West Indies Station

The America and West Indies Station is a former Royal Navystation responsible for the western Atlantic, West Indies, and eastern Pacific, active between 1926 and 1956. It was the successor of the North American Station, which absorbed the separate Newfoundland Station in 1825 (becoming the North America and Newfoundland Station), and the Jamaica Station in 1830, to form the North America and West Indies Station. It was briefly abolished in 1907 before being restored in 1915. It was renamed the America and West Indies Station in 1926, absorbing what had been the South East Coast of America Station and the Pacific Station.
