Captain Frederick Livington Campbell (20 July, 1854 – 25 January, 1906) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Campbell passed the Royal Naval College in May, 1875.[1]

Campbell was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 13 October, 1876.[2]

He was appointed to Vernon on 16 June, 1884 as a torpedo Lieutenant.[3]

Campbell was appointed in command of the T.B. 22 on 18 March, 1886.[4]

On 6 November, 1888 he was appointed to Hecla as first lieutenant and for torpedo duties. On 1 November, 1890, Campbell was placed in command of Hecla for a trip to Malta following the resignation of Captain Edwin John Payne Gallwey the day before. Campbell was promoted to the rank of Commander on 31 December, 1890 and remained in Hecla until Lieutenant Briggs joined. He then returned to England, arriving 23 March, 1891. During the summer, he helped distribute intelligence related to the annual manoeuvres until going on Half Pay on 8 September 1891.[5]

Campbell was sent to France to study the language at a colloquial level in January, 1892, being permitted four months. He was examined by the Civil Service in February and found to contain an "adequate" knowledge of French grammar. In May, Campbell again worked in intelligence in support of the annual manoeuvres. On 15 August, 1892, he was appointed to Neptune.[6]

Campbell was only briefly in Neptune before being appointed to command of the torpedo ram Polyphemus on 27 October, 1892.[7] He remained with her through a re-commissioning and was superseded when his appointment expired in mid November, 1895.[8]

Campbell was promoted to the rank of Captain on 1 January, 1897.[9]

Campbell was appointed in command of Indefatigable on 5 August, 1899. He was faulted by the Admiralty for an error which caused her to be grounded in Port Antonio Harbour, Jamaica.[10]

Campbell was appointed in command of the armoured cruiser King Alfred on 21 July, 1903.[11] On 31 August, he was put in command of Prince George. In October, 1903, she collided with Hannibal while manoeuvring at night without lights, and Campbell was acquitted at a Court Martial on a charge that he had hazarded his vessel.[12]

Campbell commanded Majestic for the latter half of 1904 and then was appointed as Captain Superintendent, Sheerness Royal Dockyard at the turn of 1905. He was still in this appointment when, on 25 January, 1906, while hunting on leave at his cousin's, he fell from his horse and broke his neck, dying instantly.[13]
