Vice-Admiral Raymond Andrew Nugent, C.M.G., Royal Navy, Retired (25 February, 1870 – 13 September, 1959) was an officer of the Royal Navy during the First World War.
Life & Career
Nugent was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 June, 1892.[1]
He was promoted to the rank of Captain on 30 June, 1909.[2]
In November 1912 a Court of Inquiry concluded that a coaling accident aboard Collingwood which resulted in the death of a Leading Signalman injured two others could not have occurred had proper supervision been exercised. It is not clear to me what association Nugent had with Collingwood.[3]
In December 1912, he assumed command of the second class protected cruiser Highflyer.
Upon leaving Highflyer, he began a year-long stint as captain of H.M.S. Swiftsure on 25 April 1913.[4]
Great War
In August 1914, Nugent was placed command of the first class protected cruiser Argonaut, remaining with her until being ordered home in Amphitrite to assume command of the battleship Albemarle in June, 1915.[5][6]
On the night of 6 June, 1915, as Albemarle was traversing the Pentland Firth in company with Zealandia and Hibernia southward from Scapa Flow, a ferocious gale coupled with an ebb tide produced heavy seas. During the night Albemarle was struck by two massive waves, one of which carried away the fore-bridge and the roof of the conning-tower. Nugent was washed on to the upper deck, while an officer and rating were lost overboard and drowned.
In the King's Birthday Honours of 3 June, 1918, Nugent was appointed an Additional Member of the Third Class, or Companion, in the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George (C.M.G.).[7]
Post-War
On 25 March, 1920, Nugent was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral and placed on the Retired List at his own request on 26 March.[8] He was advanced to the rank of Vice-Admiral on the Retired List on 24 November, 1925.[9]
