Putting some stuff here from the article while I work out a proper page for it.
The Tyne Division of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve was formed in 1905 and the third Calliope chosen as its drill ship. In 1951 the original Calliope was replaced by the fifth Calliope and berthed at Elswick. In 1968, Tyne Division moved ashore to a new building on the Gateshead bank of the Tyne in its current location retaining the name HMS Calliope. As of 2005, the commander is Commander Chris Scribbins RD RNR. Cdr Scribbins is a Royal Naval Reserve officer who in civilian life works for the US based corporation Procter & Gamble
