Sir John Fisher (1841-1920) is remembered as one of the great reformers in the history of the British navy. He was born in Ceylon and his naval career started with his nomination from Sir William Parker. He entered the navy on 13 July 1854 as a cadet aboard HMS Victory and rapidly rose through the ranks, becoming a captain in 1874. During this time, he excelled in the field of navigation and championed the use of torpedoes in the navy, recognising their potential early on. Whilst aboard HMS Inflexible in 1852, Fisher came to the notice of the royal family for the first time and this connection was to follow him throughout his career. He continued to prosper being made Director of Naval Ordnance in 1886 and admiral in 1890. He obtained the position of First Sea Lord in 1904 and remained in this post until 1910. During this time, he tirelessly sought improvement, revolutionising the navy in preparation for World War I. Amongst his initiatives were the construction of HMS Dreadnought, leading to a new era in battleships, and the development of submarines. He retired in 1911 on his 70th birthday, being recalled briefly as First Sea Lord in 1914/15 before resigning over the Gallipoli campaign. He died in 1920 and is buried at Kilverstone, Thetford.
