Captain Frederic John Walker, CB, DSO & Three Bars (3 June 1896 - 9 July 1944) was a British Royal Navy officer noted for his exploits during the Second World War. Walker was the most successful anti-submarine warfare commander during the Battle of the Atlantic, and was known popularly as Johnnie Walker (for the Johnnie Walker brand of whisky). When the Second World War began, in 1939, Walker's career seemed to be at an end. Still a commander, he had been passed over for promotion to captain. In 1940, he was appointed as Operations Staff Officer to Vice-Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay. Even so, Walker still had not been given a command, despite his expertise in antisubmarine warfare that would no doubt be indispensable in the Battle of the Atlantic. During Walker's time in that role, the Operation Dynamo evacuation took place from Dunkirk, in which the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) was evacuated from France. The evacuation was a success, with over 338,000 British and French troops being rescued and brought back to England, or to Brittany. He was Mentioned in Despatches for his work during this operation. Walker was the most successful anti-submarine commander of the Second World War, being credited with 20 U boats destroyed, from various ships. Ref A4 7.
