Rear-Admiral SIR Edward Chichester, Ninth Baronet, C.B., Royal Navy (20 November, 1849 – 17 September, 1906) was an officer of the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

For services rendered during the operations in Egypt, Chichester was specially promoted to the rank of Commander with seniority of 18 November, 1882.[1]

Chichester was appointed to command the armoured cruiser Immortalité on 19 November, 1895.[2] During his time in command of Immortalité he became involved in the aftermath of the American victory at the Battle of Manila Bay when Immortalité was sent to Manila Bay. Despite Britain's neutrality in the Spanish-American War, Chichester apparently worked closely with American Commodore George Dewey, who "was especially grateful" for Chichester's "understanding attitude".[3]

Chichester was appointed a Naval Aide-de-Camp to the Queen dated 25 August, 1899, vice Watson.[4] Shortly afterwards, he was appointed additional to the second class protected cruiser Doris on 11 September, 1899 for service as the Principal Transport Officer, Natal.[5]

On 6 November, 1900, for his services in South Africa, Chichester was appointed an Ordinary Member of the Third Class, or Companion, in the Military Division of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath (C.B.).[6]

He was reappointed a Naval Aide-de-Camp, to King Edward VII, on 25 February, 1901.[7]

Chichester was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 25 January, 1902, vice Fanshawe.[8] He was appointed to succeed Vice-Admiral William Acland as Admiral-Superintendent at Gibraltar on 10 June, 1904.[9]
