Captain Frank Brandt (2 October, 1871 – 1 November, 1914) was an officer of the Royal Navy during the First World War.

Life & Career

On 21 July, 1892, acting Sub-Lieutenant Brandt was appointed in command of the first-class torpedo boat T.B. 55 for manoeuvres.[1]

In 1903, it appears that Lieutenant (T) Brandt made helpful suggestions for a Graduated Sight Bar to better help torpedo ranges be judged.[2]

Commander Brandt was appointed in command of the first-class torpedo boat T.B. 116 on 3 January, 1905, and also for Command of a Flotilla.[3]

In April, 1907, one source has it that he was placed in command of the second class protected cruiser Bonaventure.[4]

Brandt was promoted to Captain on 31 December, 1909.

He was appointed in command of the depot ship Maidstone and as Captain (S) of the Eighth Submarine Flotilla on 15 October, 1912.[5]

He was appointed in command of the destroyer Eclipse on 24 February, 1914,[6] but in July 1914 was appointed in command of the armoured cruiser Monmouth,[7] and died when she sank during the Battle of Coronel.
