Fiddick was appointed in command of the first-class torpedo boat T.B. 105 on 3 August, 1912.[1] Her propeller got damaged in June 1913, and though a Court of Enquiry found no blame attributable to him, a consensus was found that Fiddick was too old to be commanding torpedo craft.

Fiddick was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander (retired) on 2 August, 1920.
