Captain Douglas Cuthbert Lang, Royal Navy (17 October, 1891 – ) served in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Lang was charged in a Court Martial for hazarding and causing the loss of Petersfield off China under his command on 12 November, 1931. Lang asserted that he'd tried to stop the ship's travel in treacherous waters an hour before the grounding, but he'd been directed to proceed by Admiral Kelly. Though he was not blamed for the loss of the ship, Lang was found guilty of hazarding the vessel and severely reprimanded.[1]
