[4] In January 1945, HMS Strongbow was badly battered by Japanese depth charges, but Troup nursed his severely damaged vessel 1,000 miles (1,600 km) across the Indian Ocean back to its base, where she assessed as unfit for further service.
[4][5] Troup was mentioned in despatches in September 1942,[1] and then received the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC) in May 1943, both awarded for his submarine patrols in the Mediterranean, and was awarded a Bar to the DSC in August 1945 for his patrols in the Far East.
[3] Troup went on to be Flag Officer Sea Training in 1969 and was the last Commander-in-Chief, Far East Fleet in 1971.
[6] In 1953 he married Cordelia Hope: they also had two sons (including Edward Troup, born 1955) and a daughter.
[5] In retirement, he became vice-chairman and group managing director of the shipbuilder Vosper Thornycroft.
