Admiral of the Fleet Sir Arthur Knyvet Wilson, 3rd Baronet VC, GCM, OM,GCVO (4 March 1842 – 25 May 1921) Wilson's nickname of 'Tug' reputedly comes from an incident when he repeatedly ordered a battleship to try to come alongside, and in exasperation offered her captain a tug to assist. He was also known as 'Old 'Ard 'Art' for his refusal to consider the cares and comforts of officers and men. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Wilson_(Royal_Navy_officer)
