176k | Harry McLaren Pinckney Huse (8 December 1858 - 14 May 1942) was born at the US Military Academy, West Point NY, where his father was then stationed. He graduated from the US Naval Academy in June 1878 and had extensive service at sea over the next decade, plus duty ashore, notably at the Naval Academy. During the 1898 war with Spain Lt. Huse was XO of the gunboat Gloucester. In the early 1900s Lcdr Huse was stationed in the Philippines, where he commanded the gunboat Villalobos. This was followed by nearly five years at the Naval Academy as, among other things, instructor of mathematics. Promoted to the rank of Commander in 1907, Huse was CO of the monitor Nevada and later the supply ship Celtic. After his promotion to Captain in 1909, he was Captain of the Yard at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, commanded the battleship Vermont, attended the Naval War College and, in 1914-1915, was Chief of Staff to Radm. Frank Friday Fletcher. As a result of his conduct during the landings at Vera Cruz, Mexico, in April 1914, Captain Huse was awarded the Medal of Honor. Huse reached the Rank of Rear Admiral in mid-1916, while at the War College. He held Navy Department positions through the World War I years, followed in 1919 by command of the Atlantic Training Fleet. From late 1919 to early 1921 he served as senior US Navy representative on the Allied Naval Armistice Commission and the Naval Inter-Allied Commission of Control, then as Commander, U.S. Naval Forces in European Waters. After returning to the United States he was Commandant of the Third Naval District, headquartered at New York City, and as a member of the Navy's General Board. Radm. Huse retired in December 1922, later receiving the retirement rank of Vice Admiral. A Washington, DC resident for the rest of his life, Vadm. Huse died at Bethesda Naval Hospital on 14 May 1942. DE 145 was named in his honor. (US Naval Historical Center Photo #NH1207) |
