  Richard Howe, 1st Earl Howe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Howe entered the navy in the “Severn,” one of the squadron sent into the south seas with George Anson in 1740.
Howe next served in the West Indies in the "Burford," and was present in her when she was very severely damaged in the unsuccessful attack on La Guayra on February 18, 1742.
Though Howe was now nearly seventy, and had been trained in the old school, he displayed an originality not usual with veterans, and not excelled by any of his successors in the war, not even by Nelson, since they had his example to follow and were served by more highly trained squadrons than his.
