Whitley Perkins, (31 March, 1891 – ) served in the United States Navy.

Life & Career

Perkins was tried by Court Martial on board the Template:US-Agamemnon on 13 November, 1918 on a charge of "conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline (one specification)." The charge was proved, and he was sentenced to lose twenty numbers in his permanent grade. A 1919 review of the sentence deemed it too lenient in light of the charge proved. It was altered to a loss of 50 numbers. He was released from arrest and restored to duty.[1]

Perkins would suffer another Court Martial on 20 March 1920 while serving at Naval Station Cavite on a charge of "conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline (one specification)." He was acquitted of this charge.[2]

Perkins was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander on 3 June, 1922.[3]
