In 1796 administration of the Navy Office was placed under the supervision of three Committees, of Correspondence, Accounts and Stores. Throughout its history its clerical supporting staff consisting of chief clerks then first, second and third class clerks were assigned to the various offices and departments within the Navy Office. In 1808 the <a href="/wiki/Naval_Works_Department_(Royal_Navy)" title="Naval Works Department (Royal Navy)">Naval Works Department</a> was relocated from the Admiralty to the Navy Office. A Ticket and Wages Branch was formed in 1829. In 1832 the Navy Office and subsequently the Navy Board were abolished and its functions transferred to the Department of Admiralty under supervision of the <a href="/wiki/Board_of_Admiralty" title="Board of Admiralty">Board of Admiralty</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Organisation_and_structure_of_the_Navy_Office">Organisation and structure of the Navy Office</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Navy_Office_(Royal_Navy)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Organisation and structure of the Navy Office"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Navy Office provided accommodation for the Commissioners of the Navy Board and senior clerical and secretarial staff, as well as office space.
