Admiral Martin Eric Dunbar-Nasmith, V.C., K.C.B., K.C.M.G., (1 April, 1883 – 29 June, 1965) was an officer in the Royal Navy who was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions in the Sea of Marmara in command of submarine E 11. He was born as Martin Eric Nasmith – he added the name Dunbar in 1923.[1]
Life & Career
Nasmith was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 15 May, 1905.[2]
Nasmith was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 15 May, 1913.[3]
Great War
Nasmith was appointed in command of the submarine E 11 on 3 August, 1914.[4] He was awarded the Victoria Cross for his exploits in her in the Sea of Marmara. Less widely recalled were his profound contributions to the Torpedo Control mechanisms available to British submariners, developing the Nasmith Director and then its refined brethren, the Is-Was.[5]
Nasmith was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1915.[6]
Nasmith was promoted to the rank of Captain on 30 June, 1916.[7]
He was appointed to Vulcan for command of the Third Submarine Flotilla on 7 February, 1917. In November, he left that command and was appointed to command Ambrose's Flotilla.[8]
He was gazetted on 5 March, 1920 a C.B. for work in command of the Seventh Submarine Flotilla in the Baltic, and for serving as Senior Naval Officer at Reval.[9]
On 20 August, 1921, he was appointed in command of the battleship Iron Duke. In February 1922, the death of an Able Bodied seamen while landing anchors prompted the C-in-C to inform Nasmith that such "responsible" work should not have been entrusted to a junior rating.[10]
