As a bit of background info. My wife's family were nearly all RN.
I attach a couple of pics of her great grandfather who was an Admiral.
His son also became an Admiral.
The one in the picture is seen on his wedding day and of the fleet review of 1914 in Singapore. The ship is HMS HERCULES.
Note the wedding guests...some sailors in uniform!
Whilst doing her family background research, The Admiral's father (Bruce) was an Ensign at the Battle of Trafalgar! upon return to England he was made up to Sub-Lt.
Admiral Sir Henry Bruce KCB RN was an Admiral between 1862 and 1948. The latest Admiral was a Vice Admiral and held a lot of posts in the Uk, Canada, Kenya and other foreign parts...mainly in a diplomatic role.
I hope this is of some interest...the pictures were taken in 1914
