History
From November, 1904 to November, 1906, the Third Cruiser Squadron was commanded by Rear-Admiral Sir Hedworth Lambton.[1] He was succeeded by Rear-Admiral Henry D. Barry, who hoisted his flag at Portsmouth in the Bacchante on 10 November, 1906.[2] Rear-Admiral Sir Henry B. Jackson assumed command of the squadron on 16 October, 1908.[3] It is assumed that upon the reorganisation of the Home Fleet in mid-1909, the Third Cruiser Squadron became the Sixth Cruiser Squadron, and the name Third Cruiser Squadron was given to nucleus crew ships at the Home Ports.[Inference]
Rear-Admiral Charles E. Madden assumed command of the Third Cruiser Squadron on 11 December, 1912, and was succeeded on 19 December, 1913[4] by Rear-Admiral William C. Pakenham.[5]
