 Naval Intelligence Division (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Naval Intelligence Division (NID) was the intelligence arm of the British Admiralty before the establishment of a unified Defence Staff in 1964.
The NID, formerly named the Foreign Intelligence Committee, was established in 1882, although the post of Director of Naval Intelligence (DNI) was not created until 1886.
The DNI staff were originally responsible for fleet mobilization and war plans as well as foreign intelligence collection; thus in the beginning there were originally two divisions: (1) intelligence and (2) mobilization.

Because advancements in naval science and technology were not officially encouraged, the US Navy could not compete with those of Europe, where research into ship design, construction techniques, propulsion, and weapons resulted in the development of new concepts that were then applied in support of their navies.

As of 1989, the Naval Intelligence Command (NIC), under the command of the Chief of Naval Operations, directed and managed the activities of NIC to ensure the fulfillment of the intelligence requirements and responsibilities of the Department of the Navy.

M is the title and code letter for James Bond's boss and fictional head of the British Secret Intelligence Service or MI6.
The title "M" is believed to derive from the first real life head of MI6, Mansfield Smith-Cumming, who used his initial "C" to indicate he had seen a paper and so became referred to as "C", a practice which carried on with his successors.
The character of M is apocryphally based on Rear Admiral John H. Godfrey who was the Director of the British Department of Naval Intelligence during World War II.
