1841-1920. British admiral, First Sea Lord
1904-10, when he carried out many radical
reforms and innovations, including the
introduction of the dreadnought battleship.
He served in the Crimean War 1855 and the
China War 1859-60. He held various commands
before becoming First Sea Lord, and returned
to the post 1914, but resigned the following
year, disagreeing with Winston Churchill over
sending more ships to the Dardanelles,
Turkey, in World War I.
