Admiral of the Fleet THE RIGHT HONOURABLE John Arbuthnot Fisher, First Baron Fisher, G.C.B., O.M., G.C.V.O., R.N. (25 January, 1841 – 10 July, 1920) was one of the most celebrated officers in the history of the Royal Navy. He was actively involved in the service of the Navy for over sixty years, starting his career during the Crimean War and ending it during the First World War. From a comparatively poor background, he made friends in the right places and forged his way up through the ranks.
He became a gunnery expert, founded the Navy's torpedo branch and upon joining the Board of Admiralty started a twenty-year period of reform. His first term as First Sea Lord from 1904 to 1910 is widely credited with having materially prepared the fleet for war, having introduced the world's first all-big-gun battleship, Dreadnought, concentrated the fleet in home waters, and reorganised the training and distribution of personnel. Having retired in 1910, he was then instrumental in the adoption of oil-fuel, and soon after the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 he returned as First Sea Lord.
He resigned in May, 1915, after a falling out with the then First Lord, Winston Churchill, over the commitment to the Dardanelles expedition. The fleet which fought the war was by and large the one constructed during his terms in office.
