Officer - Order of the British Empire

HOPE, Adrian Mitchell, Captain, RCN, HMCS Prince Robert

Issued: 15-Jun-1946, Canada Gazette

"Captain Hope, who entered the Royal Canadian Naval College in 1913, has at all times served with zeal, loyalty, energy and ability. During the war, he has held a variety of important administrative appointments. As Commanding Officer of HMCS KINGS, he was responsible for the training of young officers and displayed leadership, tack and efficiency. He next commanded HMCS Prince Robert from May 1943 until December 1944, serving in many theatres of war against the enemy. After relinquishing this appointment, he was made Commanding Officer of HMCS SOMERS ISLES, the Naval Base in Bermuda, and following that, he served as Chief of Naval Personnel at Naval Service Headquarters for five months. At the beginning of this year, he was appointed Head of the Canadian Naval Mission Overseas, which position he still holds. His common sense and quick appreciation of any problems, are in keeping with the highest traditions of the Royal Canadian Navy."
