Conseil supérieur de la Marine

The Conseil supérieur de la Marine (CSM, Superior Naval Council) was an advisory body to the Minister of the Navy that was formed on 5 December 1889.[1] It consisted of the Chief of the Naval Staff, the Directeur du matérial (Director of Equipment), the Directeur de l'artillerie and various admirals. "The CSM advised the minister on the military characteristics of new designs and drew up the staff requirements including displacement, offensive/defensive qualities, speed and endurance."[2]
