  • He was Commander-in-Chief of the Atlantic Fleet after the war and served as First Sea Lord in the late 1920s.
  • In that role, in order to avoid an arms race, he accepted parity with the United States in the form of 50 cruisers defending his position on the basis that he only actually had 48 cruisers anyway.
