Richard J. Campbell; was just 13 when he enrolled as a cadet at BRNC Dartmouth in 1946. He served on submarines before becoming a specialist in hydrographic surveying - the science of measurement and mapping physical features of bodies of water, a skill which took him around the world including Antarctica aboard the HMS Endurance. During the Falklands War he led the conversion of deep ocean survey vessel HMS Hydra into a hospital ship, which transported wounded personnel to Uruguay. For this significant contribution, he was appointed OBE in the 1983 New Year’s Honour’s List.
