Admiral Sir Michael Henry Hodges, KCB, CMG, MVO (29 September 1874 – 3 November 1951) was a senior Royal Navy officer who went on to be Second Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Personnel.
[1] In late 1899, during the Second Boer War, he was landed in South Africa as a member of HMS Powerful's naval brigade and sent to defend the town of Ladysmith.
[8] He was appointed in command of the cruiser HMS Sappho in 1905 and despatched to South Georgia to investigate the emerging whaling industry there.
[1] He was Second Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Personnel from 1927 to 1930 when, having been promoted to full admiral in 1929,[11] he was appointed Commander-in-Chief, Atlantic Fleet in 1930.
[12] It was at this time that the Invergordon Mutiny took place when sailors of the Atlantic Fleet rioted over pay although Hodges was in the Royal Hospital Haslar at Gosport and therefore not directly involved in resolving the crisis.
