Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Deacon Barry, KCVO (27 November 1849 - 14 November 1908) was a British Royal Navy officer who was Admiral superintendent at Portsmouth dockyard. ==Naval career== Barry joined the Royal Navy in the early 1870s. He was promoted to Captain on 30 June 1892, and commanded the protected cruiser HMS ''Astraea'', before he was appointed in command of the pre-dreadnought battleship HMS ''Mars'' in September 1900. During his time in command of the ''Mars'', she suffered a serious accident in April 1902 when one of her forward 12-inch (305-mm) guns was fired before the breech was closed, killing two officers and nine enlisted men, injuring seven, and wrecking the forward main battery turret. He later became Director of Naval Ordnance, and in February 1905 was appointed Admiral-superintendent of Portsmouth dockyard, serving as such until November the following year, when he was appointed in command of a Cruiser squadron in the Mediterranean. Berry was appointed a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) in 1905, and promoted to a Knight Commander (KCVO) on 10 February 1906, on the occasion of the visit of King Edward VII to Portsmouth to launch the new HMS ''Dreadnought''.
