Vice Admiral Sir John Anthony Rose Troup, {{post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100|sep=,|KCB|DSC1}} (18 July 1921 – 8 July 2008) was a Royal Navy officer. A submariner, he served as the last Commander-in-Chief Far East Fleet (1971).

Early life

Born in Bath, Somerset, on 18 July 1921, Troup was the son of Hugh Rose Troup (1885–1968),[1] an officer in the Royal Navy who played an important role in the evacuation from Dunkirk in 1940.[1]

Naval career

Troup studied at Pangbourne College, associated with the nautical training college HMS Worcester, until 1934.[2] He joined the Royal Navy in 1934,[3] and studied at the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth until 1936.[2]

Troup served in the Second World War, initially on the cruisers {{HMS|Vindictive|1918|6}} in 1938–39 and then {{HMS|Cornwall|56|6}} in 1939–40. He served on the submarine {{HMS|Turbulent|N98|6}} from September 1941 to early 1943, commanded by John "Tubby" Linton in the 10th Submarine Flotilla. After briefly commanding {{HMS|H32||6}} in June to August 1943, he was commanding officer of the submarine {{HMS|Strongbow|P235|6}} from September 1943 until the end of the war, based at Trincomalee.[4] In January 1945, HMS Strongbow was badly battered by Japanese depth charges, but Troup nursed his severely damaged vessel {{convert|1,000|mi}} 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,[2] 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.[5]

Troup served on the cruiser {{HMS|Cumberland|57|6}} in 1945–46, and commanded the submarines {{HMS|Tantalus|P318|6}}, {{HMS|Trump|P333|6}} and {{HMS|Tally-Ho|P317|6}}. He was appointed second-in-command of the aircraft carrier {{HMS|Victorious|R38|6}} in 1956, commanding officer of the 3rd Submarine Squadron in 1961 and then captain of the ship {{HMS|Intrepid|L11|6}} from 1966 to 1968.[3]

Troup went on to be Flag Officer Sea Training in 1969 and was the last Commander-in-Chief, Far East Fleet in 1971.[3] He was made Flag Officer Submarines in 1972 and Flag Officer, Scotland and Northern Ireland in 1974.[3] He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in 1975,[2][15] and retired in 1977.[3]

Family and later life

In 1943, Troup married Joy Gordon-Smith: by his first marriage he had two sons and a daughter.[6] In 1953 he married Cordelia Hope: they also had two sons (including Edward Troup, born 1955) and a daughter.[4]

Troup joined the Royal Yacht Squadron in 1964.[5] In retirement, he became Vice-Chairman and Group Managing Director of the shipbuilder Vosper Thornycroft.[4]
