| Notes: 1. At Portsmouth for repairs. 2. Temporarily relieving Berwick on the China Station 3. Rear Admiral Pugsley's book, Destroyer Man, indicates he was First Lieutenant of MACKAY, not its commander. The Navy List has him as the senior officer assigned to the destroyer. It is possible Captain Cloete had additional duty as commander of MACKAY in addition to holding command of the 1st Detroyer Flotilla. |
