Naval careerHughes was probably born in London, England, and entered the Portsmouth Naval Academy in 1739.[1] He served on a number of ships in various locations during his naval career, including {{HMS|Boreas|1757|6}} from 1763 to 1766. It is known that Hughes was in Canada in 1778, as he was appointed resident commissioner of the Halifax dockyard.[2] This appointment was short, as by August of the same year he became lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia, succeeding Mariot Arbuthnot in that position.[1] During his tenure, the main concern was the protection of the Province.[1] In 1779, he succeeded his father as Baronet. He became acting commander-in-chief The Downs in 1781.[3] In 1782 Hughes was second-in-command under Lord Howe at the Relief of Gibraltar.[1] Between 1783 and 1786 he was appointed Commander-in-Chief, Leeward Islands Station.[4] Then in 1789 he became Commander-in-Chief, North American Station.[1] Legacy
