description: "Admiral Sir Herbert William Richmond, was a prominent Royal Navy officer, described as \"perhaps the most brilliant naval officer of his generation.\" He was also a top naval historian, known as the \"British Mahan\", the leader of the British Royal Navy's intellectual revolution that stressed continuing education especially in naval history as essential to the formation of naval strategy. After serving as a \"gadfly\" to the British Admiralty, his constructive criticisms causing him to be \"denied the role in the formation of policy and the reformations of naval education which his talents warranted\", he served as Vere Harmsworth Professor of Imperial and Naval History at Cambridge University from 1934 to 1936, and Master of Downing College, Cambridge from 1934 to 1946."
