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
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 was appointed captain of the armoured cruiser Essex in December 1913, but for just about a single month.[2]
Great-War
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.[3]
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.[4]
On 8 December, 1917, Tweedie was appointed Commodore (F) in the Grand Fleet.[5]
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.[6]
With the disbanding of the Grand Fleet in April Tweedie became Commodore (D) in the new Atlantic Fleet.[7]
He was appointed captain of Marlborough in July 1922, remaining with her for a little over a year.[8]
Tweedie was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 2 March, 1926, vice Loder Symonds.[9]
He was promoted to the rank of Admiral on 8 May, 1935, vice Chatfield.[10]
