Admiral SIR William Wordsworth Fisher, G.C.B., G.C.V.O., Royal Navy (26 March, 1875 – 24 June, 1937) was an officer of the Royal Navy during the First World War.

Early Life & Career

Sub-Lieutenant Fisher was appointed to the first class protected cruiser Hawke on 13 January, 1896.[1]

As Lieutenant (G) in King Edward VII, as enterprising naval persons were fairly required to do, Fisher exploited a gap in the rules of a pre-war prize firing to have all his light gun crews use the same single, slavishly perfected and tweaked gun mount. It sported a super-sized telescope and the results were astounding: crew after crew was hitting 19 out of 20 rounds on a 10-foot square target at over a thousand yards. The winning performance inspired rule changes for the coming year's competition.[2]

He qualified as an Interpreter in French at some point.

Fisher was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1906[3] and to Captain on 1 July, 1912.[4]

He was appointed to command the battleship St. Vincent on 10 December, 1912[5] as Flag Captain. He remained in her until 10 May, 1917, though he had ceased being Flag Captain on 24 October, 1915.[6]

Great 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, 1918.[7]

He commanded St. Vincent at the Battle of Jutland, operating with the Grand Fleet's First Battle Squadron. He reported firing 96 seemingly accurate shells by director without suffering damage.

Post-War

Fisher was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 1 November, 1922, vice Green.[8]

He was promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral on 15 January, 1928, vice Crooke.[9]

On the occasion of the King's birthday he was appointed an Ordinary Member of the Second Class, or Knight Commander, in the Military Division of the Order of the Bath (K.C.B.) on 3 June, 1929.[10]

Assessment

Marder wrote of Fisher:

But for his death when C.-in-C., Portsmouth, he would probably have succeeded Chatfield and become, no doubt, one of the great First Sea Lords in British naval history.[11]
