Captain Ivan Beale Colvin, R.N., Retired (12 July, 1891 – ) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

The son of Colonel Cecil H. Colvin, D.S.O. of the 3rd Battalion, Essex Regiment, Colvin gained no time on passing out of the Training Establishment. He possessed notable skills in French, drawing and in watercolours.[1]

Promoted to Sub-Lieutenant on 15 September, 1912.[2]

On 1 August, 1914, Colvin was appointed to H.M.S. Lookout. Colvin was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 10 August, 1914. On 14 December, he was appointed to Liberty as first officer.[3]

In October 1916, Colvin left Liberty for command of the P19.

In November 1917, Colvin left P 19 for command of Laverock.

Colvin was appointed Lieutenant in Command of the destroyer Ursula on 5 August, 1918.[4]

Post-War

Colvin was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 10 August, 1922.[5]

After being superseded in command of Whirlwind in May, 1925, Colvin took some unpaid time and then a month-long course in anti-submarine warfare and one in gyrocompasses. On 1 December, 1925, he was appointed to Venetia, to take command upon her re-commissioning.[6]

Colvin was promoted to the rank of Commander on 31 December, 1927.[7]

Colvin was appointed to the light cruiser Centaur on 27 August, 1930. He was not in command and left on 13 January, 1933 for an appointment in Portsmouth Royal Naval Barracks, vice Peploe.[8]

Colvin was placed on the Retired List at his own request on 16 April, 1936 and subsequently promoted to the rank of Captain on 12 July, 1936.[9]

World War II

Though he had been given an appointment in command of the armed merchant cruiser California on 2 September, 1939, Colvin was reportedly suffering from Parkinson's Disease and judged unfit for sea service or office work. He was superseded in command on 9 November, 1939 and may have, nonetheless, done some work with the Naval Intelligence Division.[10]
