He was promoted to Captain on 31 December 1896, and commanded the protected cruiser HMS ''Wallaroo''. On 15 January 1901 he commissioned, at Chatham, the protected cruiser HMS ''Diana'' for service at the Mediterranean Station. Two months later, ''Diana'' was one of two cruisers to escort HMS Ophir, commissioned as royal yacht for the world tour of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York (later King George and Queen Mary), from Gibraltar to Malta, and then to Port Said. He was appointed captain of the second-class pre-dreadnought battleship HMS ''Renown'' on 20 May 1902, but did not assume command until mid-June after visiting Palermo with the ''Diana''. He commanded the ''Renown'' at the Mediterranean Station throughout the summer for combined manoeuvres.
