Graham Greene, a civil servant at the Admiralty, later wrote of Hamond, "'Dick' Hamond was a thorough seaman, bearded, rolling in his gait, devoted to sport, shooting, fishing, & with the outlook of a plain Norfolk county gentleman."[4] Hamond succeeded Captain Archibald L. Douglas in command of H.M.S. Cambridge, gunnery school at Plymouth, on 3 July, 1894. He was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral dated 9 November, 1896, vice Fane,[5] and superseded in Cambridge on 1 December.[6] Flag Rank: Hamond was advanced to the rank of Vice-Admiral on the Retired List on 25 January, 1902,[7] and was advanced to the rank of Admiral on the Retired List on 22 July, 1905".
