He passed away today aged 81. 100 Days was one of two things that inspired me to join the RN - I shall be re-reading it pretty soon!

RIP.

He may be one of the last combat task group commanders.

A fine task grout commander and gentleman

 

[Ninja_Stoker]

A great leader at the right time, in the right job, in the right place.

One would sincerely hope he is afforded the respect of a ceremonial funeral.

Rest in Peace.

Great man great leader, at least he got the recognition he deserved, not quite so for Commodore Jamie Miller, equally brilliant with a memory of an elephant it was just the wrong war and maybe he upset a few too many of the shiney arses back home.
