Rear-Admiral James Uchtred Farie, C.M.G., Royal Navy, Retired (25 November, 1873 – 17 September, 1957) was an officer of the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Farie was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 June, 1895.[1]

A series of destroyer commands followed, and his record indicates that he "shows aptitude for destroyer work."[2]

Farie was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1905.[3]

He was appointed in command of the destroyer Liffey on 1 December, 1905.[4]

Farie was appointed in command of Latona on 15 February, 1912.[5]

Captain

Farie was promoted to the rank of Captain on 30 June, 1913.[6]

Farie succeeded Captain Reginald Y. Tyrwhitt in command of Adventure and as Captain (D) in the Second Destroyer Flotilla on 1 December, 1913.[7]

In November 1915, he was appointed in command of the light cruiser Champion.[8]

He was Captain (D) of Thirteenth Destroyer Flotilla at the Battle of Jutland, commanding the flotilla from light cruiser Champion.[9]

He was appointed in command of the armoured cruiser Cochrane in April, 1918.[10]

In an evaluation offered on 28 November, 1918, Rear Admiral Bruen noted that he considered Farie "of sound judgment, though perhaps not very quick in thought & action." Cochrane ran aground in the Mersey in late 1918.[11]

Post-war

Farie was reprimanded following a Court Martial on 18 February, 1919 for the stranding of Cochrane.[12]

Farie served as the Captain-in-Charge, Simonstown from 15 May, 1919 to 20 May, 1921.[13]

Farie was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 19 May, 1922.[14] He was advanced to the rank of Rear-Admiral on the Retired List on 8 October, 1923.[15]

Farie died at his Lymington home on 17 September, 1957, aged eighty-three.[16]
