Admiral SIR Lewis Clinton-Baker, K.C.B., K.C.V.O., C.B.E., Royal Navy (16 March, 1866 – 12 December, 1939) was an officer of the Royal Navy during the First World War.
When Hercules passed the remains of H.M.S. Invincible and the crew started cheering (under the impression she was a German wreck), Clinton-Baker is alleged to have "called out from the bridge, 'Stop that cheering — that's one of our ships!'"[1]
