Admiral Sir Montague Edward Browning, {{post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100%|sep=,|GCB|GCMG|GCVO}} (18 January 1863 – 4 November 1947) was a senior Royal Navy officer who served as Second Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Personnel.

Military career

Browning joined the Royal Navy in 1876.[1] He served in the Anglo-Egyptian War and then became Secretary to the Parliamentary Committee on Water Tube Boilers in 1900.[1]

He was promoted to captain on 1 January 1902,[2] and in June that year was appointed flag captain in command of the cruiser HMS Ariadne.[3] She was commissioned on 5 June 1902 as flagship of Vice-Admiral Sir Archibald Douglas, the new Commander-in-Chief of the North America and West Indies Station, where she arrived to take up the position on 15 July.[4] Browning became Chief of Staff for the Channel Fleet in 1908 and Inspector of Target Practice in 1911.[1]

He served in the First World War as Commander of the 3rd Cruiser Squadron of the Grand Fleet and then, from 1916, as Commander-in-Chief North America and West Indies.[1] He commanded 4th Battle Squadron of the Grand Fleet from 1918.[1]

After the War he became President of the Allied Naval Armistice Commission and had the task of dismantling the German Fleet.[5]

He then became Second Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Personnel in 1919.[1] In this capacity he also sought to dismantle the Royal Canadian Navy but this time faced determined and successful opposition from Rear Admiral Walter Hose.[6] His last appointment was as Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth from 1920.[1] He also became First and Principal Naval Aide-de-Camp to the King in 1925 and retired in 1926.[1]

He was also Rear Admiral of the United Kingdom from 1929 to 1939[1] and then Vice Admiral of the United Kingdom from 1939 to 1945.[7]

He lived at Crawley near Winchester.[8]
