Commander Bio

John Fisher (1841–1920) was an admiral of the Royal Navy and First Sea Lord (1904–1910), one of the most influential naval reformers in British military history. Known for revolutionizing the Royal Navy through bold modernization and commissioning HMS Dreadnought-the revolutionary battleship that fundamentally transformed global naval warfare-Fisher was instrumental in establishing and maintaining Britain's decisive naval dominance throughout the tumultuous early 20th century.
