Captain (retired) Charles de Burgh, D.S.O. (17 July, 1886 – ) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

De Burgh was born in Dinant, France.

De Burgh was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 July, 1908.[1]

De Burgh was appointed to the submarine C 24 on 13 April, 1909. He remained in this posting until being offered his first command when he was appointed in command of the small submarine A 5 on 1 August, 1910.[2]

De Burgh was appointed in command of the larger submarine B 11 on 12 January, 1911. B 11 would operate out of Malta until de Burgh was superseded in command at the end of 1913. He was appointed to the Devonshire Class armoured cruiser Antrim on 11 March of 1914.

Great War

De Burgh left Antrim and returned to service in submarines on 1 September, 1915.

De Burgh was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 30 July, 1916.[3]

De Burgh was credited with torpedoing an enemy submarine at long range on 23 July, 1917 while in command of G 8. He was awarded a D.S.O. for this, gazetted on 2 November, 1917.[4] There is, however, no known U-boat loss that corresponds to this report.[5]

Post-War

De Burgh collided with a floating dock at Haslar with L 17 in 1919.[6]

De Burgh was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1920.[7]

On 10 December, 1920, he was appointed in command of the submarine K 6.[8]

In 1921, he was blamed for losing a 18-in Mark VII torpedo from K 6.[9]

De Burgh was placed on the Retired List at his own request with the rank of Captain on 17 July, 1932.[10]

World War II

Mobilised in 1938, de Burgh spent much of the war serving as N.C.S.O., Tyne, from May 1940 until at least October, 1944 and perhaps until early 1946, despite suffering an inguinal hernia in May, 1945.[11]
