Scott, Percy Moreton (1853–1924)

British admiral. He joined the Royal Navy 1866 and was a fierce advocate of gunnery training and improvements and a strong believer in the future of the submarine. He commanded a cruiser squadron 1907–09, was made KCVO 1910, created a baronet 1913, and retired with admiral's rank 1913. Recalled to duty 1914, he was given command of London's air defences in the early stages of World War I and placed them on a sound footing before retiring for a second time.
