Christopher Paul Satow
Commander (retired) Christopher Paul Satow, R.N. (20 August, 1890 – ) was an officer in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
The son of J. A. M. Satow, Esq., the Master of the Supreme Court.
In March, 1909, Satow was deprived of one month's time for leave-breaking, but he was only warming up. In April, he was deprived of a further three months' seniority "for causing letter to be sent from house of ill fame to Comr Escombe requesting payment of [illeg]." Even though I cannot make out the last portion, this is perhaps the most wonderful sentence I've ever read in a service record. I am uncertain what traffic the two men may have had before this, but Escombe was appointed to H.M.S. Bedford for manoeuvres in June, 1906 and perhaps remained in her long enough to overlap with Satow's stint in her from 15 January, 1907 to 16 January, 1908.
Satow was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 January, 1912.[1]
He was appointed to Arrogant for duty as second in command to Lieutenant-Commander Ferdinand E. B. Feilmann in the submarine C 32 on 20 February, 1913.[2]
Satow was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander and re-appointed in command of the submarine L 4 on 30 January, 1920.[3]
Satow was placed on the Retired List at his own request with the rank of Commander on 30 September, 1933.
