Military experience

After early bridge watch keeping and navigation appointments in Mine Hunters, Frigates and the Royal Yacht Britannia, Mike Mansergh qualified as a Principal Warfare Officer, specialising in communications.

Deployment to the Gulf during the Iran-Iraq war in HMS York in 1987 preceded an exchange posting with the French Navy in the Toulon based frigate Dupleix, overseas for much of the time on operations off Lebanon and in the Far East.

He returned to the Gulf in HMS Coventry in 1991 and 1993, as well as spending a short period in the Adriatic.

During command of HMS Boxer 1996-98, he conducted counter-drug and disaster relief operations in the Caribbean, supporting the island of Montserrat during early volcanic eruptions.

He later commanded HMS Cumberland, operating in the Indian Ocean, the Gulf and in UK waters during 2002-03, completing his sea time with 2 years commanding the Fleet Flagship, HMS Ark Royal 2006-08.

He has served on the staff of Britannia Royal Naval College, Commander UK Task Group, NATO HQ Iberlant in Portugal and as the Warfare Officers’ Appointer. Ministry of Defence appointments have included Naval Assistant to First Sea Lord and Captain Navy Plans.

Twelve months as Commodore of the Portsmouth Flotilla in 2008 preceded assignment as Director Naval Personnel in Navy Command HQ 2008-11.

He assumed his current post as Commanding Officer HMS Collingwood and Commodore of the Maritime Warfare School and Commander Operational Training in February 2012.

Awarded the CBE in the 2011 New Year’s Honours list, he is a graduate of the Higher Command and Staff Course, Freeman of the Shipwrights’ Livery Company and Younger Brother of Trinity House.

He enjoys all sport, including shooting and fishing, when the opportunity allows, and is a keen but unaccomplished windsurfer. He lives in West Sussex with his wife and two grown up daughters.
