Admiral SIR Ernest Charles Thomas Troubridge, K.C.M.G., C.B., C.V.O., R.N. (15 July, 1862 – 28 January, 1926) was an officer of the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Troubridge entered the Royal Navy as a Naval Cadet on 15 July, 1875, being appointed to the training ship Britannia at Dartmouth. He missed the Easter term of 1876 on account of suffering from Erysipelas in a leg. In spite of this he passed out second in his term.[1]

On 23 May, 1884, Troubridge was appointed to the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert for the Summer Season. This brought accelerated promotion to the rank of Lieutenant. It is not clear why he was appointed, as it was normally a reward for special service. He was accordingly promoted to the rank of Lieutenant with seniority of 3 September, 1884.[2] His appointment in the yacht bought him a few months' seniority over contemporaries with similarly undistinguished examination results, such as Ernest G. Barton.[3] He was appointed to the turret ship Agamemnon on the China Station on 16 September.[4]

Troubridge was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1895, aged thirty-two years, eleven months, and fifteen days.[5]

Troubridge was appointed Captain of the Victorious on 10 October,[10] and as Flag Captain to Rear-Admiral Francis C. B. Bridgeman, Second-in-Command of the Channel Fleet. He was superseded in command of Victorious on 15 August, 1905, and was appointed in command of the Glory on 17 October.[11]

He served in the Glory until 5 March, 1907, when he was appointed in command of the Queen in the Mediterranean, and as Chief of Staff to Admiral Sir Charles C. Drury, the Commander-in-Chief.[12]

On the occasion of King George V's coronation he was appointed an Additional Member of the Third Class, or Companion, in the Military Division of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath (C.B.) on 19 June, 1911.[17]

At the outset of the war, as commander of the First Cruiser Squadron, he failed to bring S.M.S. Goeben and Breslau to action in the Mediterranean, resulting in his Court Martial. He was acquitted, but not without consequences to his reputation and that of his Service.

He was promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral on 9 June, 1916.[18]
