Trowbridge was quickly promoted through the navy ranks, and was commissioned as Sub-lieutenant in 1940, serving throughout the Second World War at sea. At the end of hostilities, he was stationed in Singapore for a number of years where he was promoted to Commander in 1953, and where he met and married Anne Perceval (1920–2013), on 26 February 1955.[4] From 1956 to 1958 he captained the destroyer HMS Carysfort[5] in the Mediterranean, and following this served as the second-in-command of the cruiser {{HMS|Bermuda|C52|6}} from 1958 to 1959. He then returned to the gunnery school at Whale Island in Portsmouth, where he was promoted to captain in 1960. From 1962 to 1964 he was captain of the frigate HMS Duncan and in charge of the Fishery Protection Squadron, and from 1967 to 1969 he commanded the guided missile destroyer HMS Hampshire, which for many years was the flagship of the Western Fleet.[4] Trowbridge became extra equerry to the Queen in 1970 and he served as Flag Officer from 1970 to 1975.[2] Governor of Western AustraliaThe Premier of Western Australia, Sir Charles Court, in 1975 sought to revive the practice of appointment of British-born governors for Western Australia, contrary to the advice of Lord Goronwy-Roberts, British Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, who supported the newly established custom that Australian State Governors should be Australian-born. An initial compromise was the appointment of Sir Wallace Kyle, retired Royal Air Force officer, who, although totally Anglicised, was Kalgoorlie-born.[6][7] Following Kyle's term, Trowbridge was appointed Governor of Western Australia on Premier Court's recommendation, for a term from 25 November 1980 to 24 November 1983.[7] On completion of his term, Trowbridge returned to retirement in the United Kingdom living in Portsmouth. His life was overshadowed by exposure to asbestos which was being removed from Britannia during a long refit which he supervised, almost certainly leading to his death from lung cancer. He died on 4 May 2003, in Portsmouth.[4] References1. ^{{cite Hansard |jurisdiction=Western Australia | title=Rear Admiral Sir Richard John Trowbridge Condolence Motion |url= http://www.parliament.wa.gov.au/Hansard%5Chansard.nsf/0/cc4912a95f20d8eec8257570007f7408/$FILE/A36%20S2%2020030513%20p7514b-7514b.pdf | house=Legislative Assembly | date=13 May 2003 | page_start=7514 | page_end=7514 |speaker=Dr Geoff Gallop |position=Premier}} {{s-start}}{{s-gov}}{{succession box |2. ^1 {{cite web | url = http://www.ccentre.wa.gov.au/ExhibitionsOnline/GovernorsAndPremiers/Governors/Pages/Trowbridge.aspx | title = Rear Admiral Sir Richard Trowbridge 1980–1983 | accessdate =13 October 2011 | work = The Constitutional Centre of Western Australia | publisher = Dept of Premier and Cabinet, Government of Western Australia}} 3. ^{{cite news | title = Trowbridge dies at 83 | work = The West Australian | publisher = West Australian Newspapers Limited | date = 10 May 2003 }} 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite news | title = Rear-Admiral Sir Richard Trowbridge | date = 9 May 2003 | publisher = Telegraph Media Group Limited | url = https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1429505/Rear-Admiral-Sir-Richard-Trowbridge.html | work = The Telegraph | accessdate =14 October 2011}} 5. ^Commanding Officers of HMS Carysfort 6. ^{{cite web | url = http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/kyle-sir-wallace-hart-12761/text23017 | title = Kyle, Sir Wallace Hart (1910–1988) | accessdate =14 October 2011 | last = Chris | first = Clark | work = Australian Dictionary of Biography | publisher = National Centre of Biography, Australian National University}} 7. ^1 {{cite book | last1 = Twomey | first1 = Anne | title = The chameleon crown: the Queen and her Australian governors | chapter = Western Australia and the appointment of British Governors in the 1970s–1980s | publisher = The Federation Press | year = 2006 | location = Sydney | isbn = 978-1-86287-629-3}} title=Governor of Western Australia | before=Air Chief Marshal Sir Wallace Kyle | after=Professor Gordon Reid | years=1980–1983}} {{s-end}}{{Governors of Western Australia}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Trowbridge, Richard}} 8 : 1920 births|2003 deaths|Royal Navy admirals|Royal Navy officers of World War II|Equerries|Governors of Western Australia|Knights Commander of the Royal Victorian Order|People from Andover, Hampshire |
