Rear-Admiral Hugh Richard Marrack, C.B.E., D.S.C., R.N. (5 July, 1888 – 12 February, 1972) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

On 15 August, 1908, Marrack was sent to Mercury for instruction in submarines. On 1 January, 1909, he was appointed to Mercury to begin service in submarines.

Following twelve days in Plymouth Hospital for influenza, Marrack was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 June, 1910 and re-appointed to Mercury to continue his submarine service. On 26 October, 1911, he was appointed in command of the small coastal submarine A 10.[1]

Marrack served in command of A 10 until he was appointed in command of the submarine C 19 on 15 August, 1912. This command proved so lengthy that it extended into the War.[2]

Great War

On 3 April, 1916, Marrack was admitted to Queensferry Hospital for syphilis primary. On 17 May 1916, Marrack was admitted to Haslar Hospital for type II syphilis. He was found fit on the 9th.[3]

On 17 April, 1918, A D.S.C. for service in submarines was gazetted.[4]

Marrack was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 30 June, 1918. On 14 August, 1918 the Admiralty expressed its commendations to Marrack for his command of C 25 under seaplane attack.[5]

Interbellum

In December, 1920, he was appointed in command of the submarine K 8.[6]

Having been noted as being "specially meritorious" for advancement, Marrack was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1923.[7]

On 26 August, 1926, Marrack was lent to the Royal Australian Navy. On 1 April, 1927, he was appointed in command of the submarine H.M.A.S. Oxley. On 2 October 1928, Marrack reverted to the Royal Navy and gave up command of Oxley.[8]

Marrack was promoted to the rank of Captain on 31 December, 1930.[9]

In 1933, Marrack was blamed for an error in judgment in which Medway, under his command, damaged a buoy at Hong Kong.[10]

On 23 May 1937, Marrack was admitted to R.N.H. Plymouth with gastritis. On 24 July, he was judged to have made a good recovery, but X-rays were ordered. He passed as fit on the 26th. At the end of the year, he was appointed as Captain Superintendent of H.M. Dockyard, Sheerness. On 12 December, 1939, he was re-appointed to the role, this time with the rank of Commodore, Second Class.[11]

World War II

Marrack was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 15 January, 1941. He continued to serve as Commodore Superintendent, H.M. Dockyard Sheerness until 9 July, 1943. Within a month, he was appointed to take up the same duties at Gibraltar Royal Dockyard.[12]

Marrack reverted to the Retired list on 26 September 1945. In 1949, he was granted permission to proceed abroad to the United States of America.[13]
