Admiral Sir Max Kennedy Horton & Two Bars, SGM (29 November 1883 – 30 July 1951) was a British submariner during the First World War and commander-in-chief of the Western Approaches in the latter half of the Second World War, responsible for British participation in the Battle of the Atlantic.
==First World War==

The outbreak of war saw Lieutenant-Commander Horton in command of one of the first British ocean-going submarines, the 800-ton . At dawn on 13 September 1914, he torpedoed the German light cruiser six miles southwest of Heligoland. ''Hela'' was hit amidships with the two torpedoes, fired from a range of 600 yards. All but two of her crew were rescued by the and another German ship. Although pursued most of the day by German naval forces, ''E9'' managed to reach Harwich safely.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = uboat.net )〕 Entering the port, Horton initiated the tradition of British submariners of hoisting the Jolly Roger after a successful patrol.
Three weeks later, Horton sank the German destroyer ''S 116'' off the mouth of the river Ems. For sinking the cruiser and the destroyer, Horton was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO). Sent to the Baltic Sea as part of a British flotilla, Horton sank a number of merchant vessels and damaged the German armoured cruiser SMS ''Prinz Adalbert''. During this period, on 31 December 1914, Horton was promoted to Commander.
In 1917, Horton was awarded the bar to his DSO for long and arduous services in command of overseas submarines. Three years later, as a captain, he was awarded a second bar to his DSO for distinguished service in command of the Baltic submarine flotilla.
