Admiral Sir Benjamin Caldwell, GCB (31 January 1739 – November 1820) was a senior and experienced British Royal Navy officer of the eighteenth century. His many victories and achievements were overshadowed by his acrimonious departure from the Navy during the French Revolutionary Wars after highly publicised disputes with Admiral Lord Howe and Admiral Sir John Jervis, over perceived slights against his name following the battle of the Glorious First of June in 1794. As a result of these disputes, Caldwell was overlooked for future employment and only received recognition for his service from King George IV months before his death.

  • Benjamin Caldwell (31 janvier 1739 – novembre 1820), est un officier de marine britannique du XVIIIe siècle. Au cours de ses années de service au sein de la Royal Navy il remporte de nombreuses victoires dont l'éclat est terni par son départ acrimonieux de la Navy pendant les guerres de la Révolution après s'être publiquement disputé avec Lord Howe et Sir John Jervis sur des insultes faites à son honneur pendant la bataille du Glorious First of June en 1794. En conséquence de ces disputes, Caldwell est écarté de tout commandement futur et ne recevra la reconnaissance méritée par le roi George IV que quelques mois avant sa mort. (fr)
