Lieutenant-Commander Duncan Hermann Carmichael, R.N., Retired (21 July, 1876 – 9 June, 1916) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Born in London and raised by his mother, Carmichael gained five months' time on passing out of Britannia in July, 1892. Curiously, he entered with the July, 1890 term but is not listed as having taken the entrance examinations the prior month.[1]

Carmichael was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 31 December, 1898.

Carmichael was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 31 December, 1906.

Carmichael was appointed in command of the destroyer Gala on 28 June, 1905.[2]

In October, 1905, he was appointed in command of the destroyer Usk.[3]

At some point, Usk collided with Vulture, resulting in Carmichael being told to be more careful.

On 1 November, 1906, Carmichael was appointed in command of the destroyer Lee.[4] He was reappointed in command of Lee on 17 September, 1909.[5] She was wrecked under his command, resulting in him being reprimanded and dismissed the ship by a Court Martial.

Appointed to the battleship Albion as first lieutenant on 15 January, 1910, Carmichael would be reported for misconduct for having given orders that his wine account along with those of other officers be kept irregularly, and for allowing the issuance of bottle of spirits contrary to orders. The Vice-Admiral of the Third and Fourth Divisions of Home Fleet expressed his severe displeasure, an expression in which the Admiralty concurred. Carmichael was superseded as a consequence, on 24 January, 1912 and he was placed on the Retired List at his own request the following day, on half pay, "not to rise to commander".

Carmichael was, however, brought back into service for the war, being appointed Marshal at Crystal Palace on 9 September, 1914. In September, 1915 he was found medically unfit and relieved of his appointment.

He was granted permission to proceed to South Africa to be employed in the German East Africa Expeditionary Force on 19 November, 1915. He died in Praetoria Hospital on 9 June, 1916.
