Life & Career

Yates was born in New York and was appointed to the Naval Academy from the same state, graduating with the Class of 1857.[1] He was commissioned Lieutenant on 18 April, 1861, and was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander on 16 November, 1864.[2] During the Civil War he served in the Pacific Squadron and on blockade duty. His first command, gunboat Chocura, was from 1865-1867.[3][4] He then commanded gunboat Unadilla from 1868 to 1869.[5]

Yates was promoted to the rank of Commander on 6 February, 1872. At the time, he was Head of the Department of Ethics and English Studies at the Naval Academy.[6][7] In 1873-1874 he served as commanding officer of monitor Manhattan, and in 1875 he assumed command of receiving ship Sabine.[8][9]

From 1879 to 1881 Yates commanded gunboat Alliance on the European Station. He then went ashore as the Equipment Officer at Portsmouth Navy Yard. While serving in this role, Yates was promoted to the rank of Captain on 9 February, 1884.[10][11][12][13]

After spending three years commanding the receiving ship New Hampshire, Yates returned to sea one final time as commanding officer of screw sloop Pensacola from 1888 to 1890.[14][15][16][17] Hen then returned to Portsmouth Navy Yard, this time as Captain of the Yard, from September 1890. He was still in this position when he died in Portsmouth in November, 1891.[18][19][20]
