:''For the English cricketer, see Frederic Walker.'' Captain Frederic John Walker & Three Bars (3 June 1896 – 9 July 1944) (his first name is given as Frederick in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and some London Gazette entries) was a Royal Navy officer noted for his exploits during World War II. Walker was the most successful anti-submarine warfare commander during the Battle of the Atlantic and was known more popularly as Johnnie Walker (after the whisky). ==Early life and career== Walker was born in Plymouth, the son of Frederic Murray and Lucy Selina (née Scriven) Walker. He joined the Royal Navy as a cadet in 1909 and was educated at the Royal Naval Colleges at Osborne and Dartmouth, where he excelled. First serving on the battleship ''Ajax'' as a midshipman, Walker as a sub-lieutenant went on to join the destroyers ''Mermaid'' and ''Sarpedon'' in 1916 and 1917 respectively. Following the end of the First World War, Walker joined the ''Queen Elizabeth''-class battleship ''Valiant''. He married Jessica Eileen Ryder Stobart, with whom he had three sons and a daughter.〔
