Rear-Admiral Charles Gage Stuart, D.S.O., D.S.C., R.N. (2 February, 1887 – 1970) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Stuart was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 1 April, 1909.[1]

Stuart was appointed in command of the T.B. 117 on 5 August, 1911. He pleaded guilty, however, when tried in Court Martial on 27 August, 1912 for being absent without leave and he was dismissed the ship. He was appointed to the light cruiser Glasgow upon her re-commissioning in September.[2]

Stuart served in Glasgow until 28 January, 1916. This stint found him in the ship during the Battle of the Falklands on 5 December, 1914 where he "carried out control well from Secondary position, as respective Batteries came into action" as he was mentioned in despatches.

Stuart was awarded a D.S.C. for meritorious service, including his "zeal & ability in coding work" in the destruction of the light cruiser Dresden on 14 March, 1915. He received Captain Luve's recommendation.[3]

On 28 January, 1916, he left St. Vincent for England at his own expense.

On 1 August, 1916, he was appointed in command of the destroyer Obedient.

Stuart was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 1 April, 1917. He was superseded in Obedient on 16 August 1917 but re-appointed in command on 5 September. He left the ship briefly for Mameluke in November, but returned in December. It was probably some action in Obedient which earned him a commendation in 1917 for attacking a submarine in a manner thought to have seriously damaged her.[4]

Stuart was appointed in command of the destroyer Voyager on 29 May, 1918.

Post-War

Stuart remained in command of Voyager until being appointed to Ganges for Shotley Barracks, as first officer, on 10 July, 1920. He received a D.S.O. for distinguished service in command of Voyager in the Baltic in 1919.

Stuart was promoted to the rank of Commander on 31 December, 1921. He was superseded at Shotley on 11 April, 1922.[5]

Stuart was promoted to the rank of Captain on 31 December, 1928.[6]

Stuart was appointed in command of the light cruiser Curlew in August, 1930.

On 6 September 1932, he was admitted to Plymouth Hospital with a "functional disorder of the heart." He was deemed fit on 7 November after some time ashore.[7]

World War II

Stuart saw extensive service in World War II.TODO: more in his service record

Stuart was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 5 January, 1940.[8]
