- Ferdinand-Alphonse Hamelin (September 2, 1796 – January 10, 1864), French admiral, was born in Pont-l'Évêque, Normandy. He went to sea with his uncle, Jacques Félix Emmanuel Hamelin, in the "Vénus" frigate in 1806 as cabin boy. The "Vénus" was part of the French squadron in the Indian Ocean, and young Hamelin had an opportunity of seeing much active service. She, in company with another and a smaller vessel, captured the English frigate "Ceylon" in 1810, but was immediately afterwards captured herself by the "Boadica," under Commodore Josias Rowley (1765-1842). Young Hamelin was a prisoner of war for a short time. He returned to France in 1811. On the fall of the Empire he had better fortune than most of the Napoleonic officers who were turned ashore. In 1821 he became lieutenant, and in 1823 took part in the French expedition under the Duke of Angoulême into Spain. In 1828 he was appointed captain of the Acton, and was engaged till 1831 on the coast of Algiers and in. the conquest of the town and country. His first command as flag officer was in the Pacific, where he showed much tact during the dispute over the Marquesas Islands with England in 1844. He was promoted vice-admiral in 1848. During the Crimean War he commanded in the Black Sea, and co-operated with Admiral Dundas in the bombardment of Sevastopol on October 17, 1854. His relations with his English colleague were not very cordial. On December 7, 1854 he was promoted admiral. Shortly afterwards he was recalled to France, and was named minister of marine. His administration lasted till 1860, and was remarkable for the expeditions to Italy and China organized under his directions; but it was even more notable for the energy shown in adopting and developing the use of armour. The launch of the "Gloire"--the example of constructing sea-going ironclads. The first English ironclad, the "Warrior," was designed as an answer to the "Gloire. " When Napoleon III made his first concession to Liberal opposition, Admiral Hamelin was one of the ministers sacrificed. He held no further command, and died on the 10th of January 1864.
- Ferdinand Alphonse Hamelin war ein französischer Admiral. Hamelin trat schon 1807 in den Marinedienst, begleitete seinen Onkel, den Admiral Jacques Félix Emmanuel Hamelin, nach den indischen Gewässern, wurde 1808 Fähnrich, trieb 1827 als Befehlshaber einer Fregatte im Mittelmeer die algerischen Seeräuber zu Paaren und nahm auch, nach einer Sendung in die Südsee, 1830 an der Expedition gegen Algier mit Auszeichnung teil. 1836 avancierte er zum Linienschiffskapitän, 1842 zum Konteradmiral, und 1844 wurde er zum Kommandanten der französischen Station in der Südsee ernannt. Kurz vor der Februarrevolution aus Ozeanien abberufen, wurde er am 7. Juli von der Republik zum Vizeadmiral ernannt. 1849 wurde er Generalinspektor in Toulon und Rochefort, dann Seepräfekt in Toulon und Mitglied des Admiralitätsrats. 1853 erhielt er das Kommando über das Übungsgeschwader im Mittelmeer und segelte mit diesem, als der Ausbruch des Kriegs mit Russland drohte, zunächst nach der Besika-Bai und von da im Verein mit der englischen Flotte im November ins Schwarze Meer. Während des Krimkrieges leitete er 22. April 1854 das Bombardement von Odessa, zerstörte zwar einen Teil der dahin geflüchteten russischen Handelsflotte, errang aber im übrigen wenige militärische Erfolge. Erheblichere Dienste leistete er bei der Überschiffung der Armeen der Westmächte von Warna nach der Krim. Bei dem am 17. Oktober gegen Sebastopol eröffneten und von der Festung erwiderten fünfstündigen furchtbaren Feuer der alliierten Flotte litt Hamelins Admiralschiff am bedeutendsten. Am 23. Dez. 1854 nach Frankreich zurückberufen, wurde er zum Admiral und zum Senator ernannt und im April 1855 mit dem Portefeuille des Marineministeriums betraut, das er bis 1860 innehatte.
