Admiral SIR Hugh Justin Tweedie, K.C.B., Royal Navy (5 April, 1877 – 20 August, 1951) was an officer of the Royal Navy.

Early Life & Career

Tweedie was born in Kent.

In the examination for cadetships in the Royal Navy held on 25 November, 1890, Tweedie placed joint thirtieth out of fifty-seven successful candidates, with 1,254 marks.[1]

Tweedie gained six months' time on passing out of Britannia in December, 1892. He spent his first three years in the Mediterranean, first in Dreadnought for eight months, followed by Hawke for nine months and then Rodney for just over two years.[2]

Tweedie was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 28 March, 1899.[3]

Tweedie was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1910.[4]

Tweedie was appointed captain of the armoured cruiser Essex in December 1913 to conduct her trials. Re-appointments would extend him command until the end of 1914.[5]

Great-War

Tweedie was promoted to the rank of Captain on 31 December, 1914.[6]

On 19 September, 1915, Tweedie commanded the monitor Marshal Ney for the commencement of bombardment operations against coastal batteries between Ostend and Nieuport. Her engines proved so unworkable that she was towed by a destroyer, and the German guns seemed uncomfortably long in reach at 29,000 yards. Better results were obtained on the 24th, when she and Sir John Moore followed Lord Clive as one of two squadrons of monitors. The powerful Tirpitz battery at Ostend was left alone during this second excursion.[7]

In April 1917, Tweedie was appointed in command of the light cruiser Champion.

He was appointed command of the light cruiser Castor on November, 1917.[8]

On 8 December, 1917, Tweedie was appointed Commodore (F) in the Grand Fleet.[9]

Post-War

He was appointed an Additional Member of the Third Class, or Companion, in the Military Division of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath (C.B.) on 1 January, 1919.[10]

With the disbanding of the Grand Fleet in April Tweedie became Commodore (D) in the new Atlantic Fleet.[11]

He was appointed captain of Marlborough in July 1922, remaining with her for a little over a year.

Tweedie was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 2 March, 1926, vice Loder Symonds.[12]

Tweedie was appointed Commander-in-Chief, The Nore on 16 May, 1933 and later re-appointed upon his promotion to the rank of Admiral on 8 May, 1935, vice Chatfield. He was superseded at The Nore on 3 December, 1935.[13] He was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 1 January, 1936.[14]

World War II

Tweedie offered his services in 1938, and in 1939 was appointed to Somersetshire on the National Service Committee. Tweedie later worked with the Liverpool Convoy Pool and then the Cardiff Convoy Pool in the rank of Commodore, Second Class from mid-March until 28 April, 1940 when he reverted to the Retired List.[15]
