Cameron Winslow

Admiral Cameron McRae Winslow (29 July 18542 January 1932) served in the United States Navy during the Spanish-American War and World War I. He was the second cousin of Rear Admiral John A. Winslow, who served in the Civil War.

Cameron McRae Winslow was born in Washington, D.C.. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1874, after which followed years of extensive sea duty. During the 1898 war with Spain, then-Lieutenant Winslow served on board Nashville. He was commended for extraordinary heroism when, on 11 May 1898, he commanded a boat expedition from Nashville and Marblehead which succeeded in cutting two submarine cables off Cienfuegos, Cuba , which linked Cuba with Europe. Despite withering enemy fire from point-blank range, which resulted in a bullet wound to his hand, Winslow retained command throughout the engagement.

Winslow commanded Charleston from 1905 to 1907 and battleship New Hampshire from 1908 to 1909. Promoted to rear admiral on 14 September 1911, Winslow was Commander in Chief, United States Pacific Fleet, from 13 September 1915 until 29 July 1916 when he was retired due to the statutory age limit. Recalled to active duty in World War I, he served as Inspector of Naval Districts on the Atlantic coast until again retiring on 11 November 1919.

Admiral Winslow died in Boston, Massachusetts.

The first two ships named USS Winslow honored his cousin, Rear Admiral John Ancrum Winslow, and Winslow (DD-359) honored Rear Admiral Cameron McRae Winslow as well.
