John Harvey (Royal Navy admiral) : ウィキペディア英語版
John Harvey (Royal Navy officer, born 1772)

Admiral Sir John Harvey, KCB (1772 – 17 September 1837) was an officer of the British Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars who held numerous commands and served in several actions during his long and distinguished career. Harvey was the eldest son of Captain John Harvey who was a distinguished officer of the eighteenth century who was killed in action at the battle of the Glorious First of June.
==Early career==
Born in 1772 at Eastry, Kent to Captain Harvey and Judith Harvey ''neé'' Wise, Harvey was raised with his brothers at home and in the 1780s joined his uncle Captain Henry Harvey's ship HMS ''Rose'' off the North American station to train as a midshipman. His service continued until 1790 when at 18 he was promoted to lieutenant. Actively employed at the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars, Harvey was aided by family influence and gained command of the sloop HMS ''Actif'' on 5 September 1794 in the West Indies. Within three months, supported by the influence gained from his father's death at the Glorious First of June in the same year, Harvey was made post-captain, receiving promotion on 16 December.〔(Harvey, Sir John ), ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', J. K. Laughton, Retrieved 24 November 2007〕 His brother Edward Harvey also received promotion to midshipman at the same time.
Thanks to family influence Harvey gained a prime commission in January 1795, serving aboard his uncle's flagship the second-rate HMS ''Prince of Wales'' as captain. In her, Harvey was extensively engaged during the following year, seeing action at the victory of the Battle of Groix where three enemy ships were taken and supporting the invasion of Quiberon Bay by Sir John Brolase Warren in 1796. In early 1797 Harvey followed his uncle to Trinidad, and supported the invasion of the island, helping capture it and the Spanish force there. Harvey was chosen to be sent home with the dispatches telling of the victory.〔 Not long after arriving in England, Harvey married his first cousin in Sandwich, Kent.〔
