This article is about the admiral. For the 20th-century Postmaster General, see George Tryon, 1st Baron Tryon.

Vice-Admiral Sir George Tryon KCB (4 January 1832- 22 June 1893) was a British admiral who died when his flagship HMS Victoria collided with HMS Camperdown during manoeuvres off Tripoli, Lebanon.

Born at Bulwick Park, Northamptonshire, England and educated at Eton he entered the Royal Navy in 1848 as a cadet. After a period serving on the North American station, he saw action in the Crimean War on Vengeance and later ashore in the Naval Brigade. He was commissioned in November 1854 as a lieutenant. He served on HMS Royal Albert from 1855 until 1858, and for the following two years on the Royal Yacht.

He was commander (second in command) of HMS Warrior, the world's first ocean-going iron-hulled armoured battleship from her commissioning in 1861 until 1864, after which he was in command of HMS Surprise in the Mediterranean until 1866. Promoted to the rank of captain he directed transport for the Abyssinian campaign but was invalided back to the United Kingdom. From 1871 until 1874 he was private secretary to the First Sea Lord and then until 1877 captain of HMS Raleigh in India and later the Mediterranean.

From 1878 until 1881 he was captain of HMS Monarch, also part of the Mediterranean Fleet. He then served two years ashore as secretary to the Admiralty and then in 1884 was promoted to rear-admiral and placed in command of the Australian Station. He was promoted to vice-admiral in June 1887 and knighted. In 1891 he was placed in command of the Mediterranean Fleet, the most powerful force within the Royal Navy at that time.

On 22 June 1893, the fleet was on exercises when Tryon's flagship, HMS Victoria, sank following a collision with the flagship of his second in command, Rear Admiral Sir Albert Hastings Markham. Details of the accident can be found in the HMS Victoria article.

Tryon was considered by many of his contemporaries to be a supremely competent yet radical officer [1], but with a strong and sometimes overbearing personality. This manner was felt to be a contributory cause to the accident. For instance, an article in Society Journal Talk in July 1893 (following the accident) said, "Much has been said about George Tryon's charm of manner, and the rest of it, but in truth he was, at any rate when officially engaged, a very brusque and dictatorial man. Unfortunately he was a 'viewy' man too, a man of theories...".

Nevertheless he tried to encourage initiative, in particular a celebrated cause of his was the TA system, in which he made this flag signal after which other ships in his fleet were to follow the flagship's movements without further signals. This was a radical departure from contemporary practice whereby all movements would be precisely signalled but which Tryon felt would be impractical during a naval engagement. Opinion was fiercely divided about it, for instance The Times newspaper considered it "unsound in theory and perilous in practice", whilst Rear-Admiral William Kennedy on the East Indies station declared following experiments with it that "the officers commanding thoroughly appreciated the idea which would be invaluable in time of war".

Tryon's son was the Conservative politician, George Tryon, 1st Baron Tryon.
