Caspar John

Admiral of the Fleet Sir Caspar John GCB (22 March 1903 – 11 July 1984) was the British First Sea Lord from 1960 to 1963. He was pioneer in the Fleet Air Arm and fought in World War II in a cruiser taking part in the Atlantic convoys, participating in the Norwegian campaign and transporting arms around the Cape of Good Hope to Egypt for use in the western desert campaign. His war service continued as Director-General of Naval Aircraft Production, as naval air attaché at the British embassy in Washington D.C. and then as Commanding Officer of two aircraft carriers. He went on to serve as First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff in the early 1960s. In that capacity he was primarily concerned with plans for the building of the new CVA-01 aircraft-carriers.
==Early life==
Born the second of the five sons of the artist Augustus John (1878–1961) and his first wife, Ida John (née Nettleship),〔Heathcote, p. 136〕 John was raised with his siblings in an undisciplined manner, frequently dressing as ragamuffins, to such an extent that his maternal grandmother attempted to secure and raise them herself.〔Nicholson, p. 68〕 At the age of nine, he went with his brothers to Dane Court preparatory school in Parkstone, Dorset.〔Nicholson, p. 94〕 There he won the prize for the best gentleman in the school and a copy of Jane's Fighting Ships, and it was this, together with a wish to seek a more orderly existence, that inspired him to join the Royal Navy.〔 His father strenuously objected, but his stepmother help persuade him to support his son.〔Nicholson, p. 78-9〕 In 1916 he entered the Royal Naval College, Osborne on the Isle of Wight, at the age of thirteen. He transferred to the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth in 1917 and passed out eighty-third of a hundred in 1920.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sir Caspar John )〕 John is remembered at Dartmouth by the naming of the college's theatre and lecture hall, the Caspar John Hall, affectionately known as 'CJH'.
