On 19 October, 1909, he was appointed Lieutenant & Commander of the destroyer Arun.[5]

On 9 January, 1920, Mackinnon was appointed in command of the flotilla leader Shakespeare.[11]

On 17 March, 1921, Mackinnon was subjected to a Court Martial for testing the engines of Shakespeare in a tidal basin while men were painting her sides from a catamaran. A charge that he had endangered their lives was not proved and he was acquitted.[12]

In February, 1932, Mackinnon issued an adverse report on his executive officer, Commander F. R. Baxter in Hermes in which he criticised Baxter's social grace and excessive self-regard. Mackinnon was informed that Their Lordships did not concur. Mackinnon was invalided from the China Station that year with diphtheria. He was admitted to Chatham hospital in July.[15]

Mackinnon was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on 21 January, 1933 and placed on the Retired List the following day in accordance with Order in Council of 9 March, 1914.[16]
