Rear-Admiral (retired) Cecil Henry Fox, C.B., (27 May, 1873 – 1963) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Born in Monkstown, Fox entered Britannia in January, 1886 after placing thirty-ninth in order of merit of the forty candidates for naval cadetship that were accepted for acceptance following a round of examinations in late November, 1885.[1]

He received eight months time on passing out of Britannia in December, 1887. He was appointed first to the armoured cruiser Orlando on the Australia Station on 24 May, 1898.[2]

Fox was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 June, 1894.[3]

Fox was promoted to the rank of Commander on 31 December, 1904.[4]

Fox was promoted to the rank of Captain on 31 December, 1911.[5]

He was appointed as Captain (D) of the Third Destroyer Flotilla on 3 April, 1913,[6] commanding the flotilla from Boadicea and, from August of that year, from Forward.[7]

Great War

In April, 1914, he assumed command of the scout cruiser Amphion,[8] continuing to command the Third Flotilla from her. Fox was to suffer the misfortune of losing her to a mine on 6 August – the first Royal Navy warship to be lost in the war. Fox was badly burned in the sinking and admitted to Shotley Hospital. He mended well, and while doing so was placed on the books of H.M.S. Vivid for charge of the new flotilla leader Faulknor, which was still being completed.[9]

He was next appointed in command of the Undaunted on 6 October, 1914,[10] almost immediately to fight the Action of 17 October, 1914, where he eradicated the entire enemy force of four torpedo boats off Texel. Fox was issued a letter on vellum commending him for his services in this battle, this being equivalent to a mention in despatches.[11]

On 26 October, 1914 Fox was superseded in Undaunted and in command of the Third Flotilla by Francis G. St. John and became Captain in Charge of the Naval Base at Methil in the Firth of Forth. On 18 November, he was transferred to be Captain in Charge of Naval Base, Granton.[12]

On 29 October, 1918, Fox was appointed to be Captain Superintendent, Clyde District and Senior Naval Officer, Clyde. He left the post when the depot closed down on 10 July, 1920.[13]

Fox was granted a General Service Pension of 150 pounds a year on 5 July, 1921 and placed on the Retired List with the rank of Rear-Admiral on 2 May, 1922, vice Lumsden.[14]
