Dudley Pound
Admiral of the Fleet Sir Alfred Dudley Pickman Rogers Pound (29 August 1877 – 21 October 1943) was a Royal Navy officer. He served in the First World War as a battleship commander, taking part in the Battle of Jutland with notable success, contributing to the sinking of the German cruiser ''Wiesbaden''. He served as First Sea Lord, the professional head of the Royal Navy, for the first four years of the Second World War. In that role his greatest achievement was his successful campaign against German U-boat activity and the winning of the Battle of the Atlantic, but his judgment has been challenged regarding the failed Norwegian Campaign in 1940, his dismissal of Admiral Dudley North in 1940, Japan's sinking of ''Prince of Wales'' and ''Repulse'' in late 1941, and his order in July 1942 to disperse Convoy PQ17 and withdraw its covering forces to counter a non-existent threat from heavy German surface ships, leading to its destruction by submarines and aircraft. His health failed in 1943 and he resigned, dying shortly thereafter.
