Captain (retired) Frederic William Dean (20 July, 1868 – ) served in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
As a Midshipman, Dean received an unusual evaluation from Captain Henry Forster Cleveland of his first ship, the central battery ironclad H.M.S. Superb: "plodding but slow."
Dean was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 1 January, 1892. In January, 1894 he was awarded the Royal Humane Society's Bronze Medal for saving a man just out of Plymouth Sound.
Dean was promoted to the rank of Commander on 2 May, 1900.[1]
On 25 February 1902, Dean was judged to have demonstrated what the C-in-C, Nore labelled a "want of a sense of his responsibilities" when he left his flotilla at Green[illeg] in unsettled weather without giving the officers left in command sufficient instruction. Damage resulted, and he was superseded in command. Dean asked that he be given a Court Martial, but his application was refused.
In 1914, he was in command of the Sutlej when she collided with something, perhaps at Gibraltar.
Dean was promoted to the rank of Captain (retired) on 9 May, 1919, which was subsequently antedated to 20 July, 1918.
