Vice-Admiral Charles Home Cochran, M.V.O., Royal Navy, Retired (22 June, 1850 – 14 February, 1930) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Cochran was born in Bath and entered the Navy on 8 September, 1863.[1]

Cochran was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 17 December, 1873.[2]

Cochran was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1888.[3]

Cochran was promoted to the rank of Captain on 31 December, 1895.[4]

He was appointed in command of the second class protected cruiser Minerva in September, 1900.

In February, 1903, Cochran was appointed in command of the second class protected cruiser Venus. The next month, the Admiralty scolded him for having too often claimed that he'd had "no opportunity" to undertake gunnery practice in the latter part of 1902.[5]

He was placed on the Retired List on 22 June, 1905 due to age. Promoted to Rear-Admiral on the Retired List on 31 May, 1906 and then to Vice-Admiral on 3 January, 1911, Cochran died at The Retreat on Weston Road, Bath of hydronephrosis.[6]
