Commodore Ron Warwick remembers his time on the Cunard Ships (Feb 2013)

Commodore Warwick joined Cunard Line as a Third Officer in 1970.
He first sailed as Captain in 1986 on board Cunard Princess, and also sailed in command of the Cunard Countess and Cunard Crown Dynasty, before his first appointment as Master of Queen Elizabeth 2 in August 1990.
From April 1996 he sailed permanently as senior Master on board Queen Elizabeth 2 until his appointment as Master-designate of Queen Mary 2 in 2002.
In December 2003 he was promoted to the rank of Commodore of the Cunard Line fleet.
Commodore Warwick holds the unique distinction in Cunard Line's long history of notable Captains by following in the footsteps of his late father Commodore William E. Warwick C.B.E., who sailed as Master of the Queen Mary, was the first Master appointed to Queen Elizabeth 2 in 1968, and was also promoted to Commodore of the fleet, in 1970.
In June 2005 Commodore Ronald Warwick's service to the Merchant Navy was recognized by him being awarded the Order of the British Empire in the Queen's Birthday Honours for that year.
Commodore Warwick also holds the rank of Captain in the Royal Naval Reserve, and is a Fellow of the Nautical Institute.
