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 two miles (3.2 km) distant'.[1]
The site selected for the dockyard was greenfield land and the closest accommodations were in Pembroke. Office space was provided by the old frigate Lapwing after she was beached. The Royal Marine garrison was housed in the hulked 74-gun ship, HMS Dragon, after she was run aground in 1832. Many of the workmen commuted by boat from nearby communities until Pembroke Dock town was built up.[2]
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 its 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.[3]
Administration of the dockyard
The admiral-superintendent[4] 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,[5] had a captain-superintendent [6] instead, whose deputy was styled commander of the dockyard. The appointment of a commodore-superintendent [7] 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.

How can temperature be calculated given relative humidity and dew point? While looking into the better indicator of how miserable it feels outside, either dew point or relative humidity, I came across this statement: The optimum combination for human comfort is a dewpoint of about 60 F and a RH of between 50 and 70% (this would put the temperature at about 75 F). Source: http://www.theweatherprediction.com/habyhints/190/ This led me to this calculator that will calculate the temperature given relative humidity and dew point - for example a dew point of 70 degrees F and a relative humidity of 90% results in a temperature of 73.11 degrees F. The web site for this calculator says the values are based on the August-Roche-Magnus approximation and gives the following equation to calculate temperature: $T =243.04 Large fracfrac17.625 TD243.04+TD-lnleft(fracRH100right)17.625+lnleft(fracRH100right)- frac17.625 TD243.04+TD$ Given the equation I'm still having a hard time figuring out...
Avoiding race conditions in Kotlin, Smartcast is impossible runtime exception The line: viewAdapter.setTitleData(bezinningModels) in the below snippet is giving me the runtime warning: Smart cast to 'BezinningAdapter' is impossible, because 'viewAdapter' is a mutable property that could have been changed by this time I went through a lot of posts with a similar runtime warning, and I understood why this happens. Basically Kotlin wants to avoid race conditions so that the value of a mutable object could not change,but still I do not get what I should do to avoid this mistake so that I can call the retrofit call into the RecyclerView Array I tried to change from var to val the value of RecyclerView but did not work RecyclerView Array var val RecyclerView Here the snippet that causes the problem: @RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) class MainFragment : android.app.Fragment() private lateinit var viewManager: RecyclerView.LayoutManager private lateinit var...
