Admiral Sir Herbert Heath

From the book “Dreadnought: The Ship that Changed the World”

The two British naval attaches assigned to the Berlin Embassy in this period were Commander (later Captain) Philip Dumas, 1906-08, and Captain Heath, 1908-10. Dumas was deeply concerned about German naval building capability.

In July 1908 Dumas was replaced by Captain Heath, who went about his work in much the same way as Dumas and started his period as attaché by visiting the various shipyards and commenting on them in some detail.

By late October he was becoming convinced that Tirpitz was accelerating his naval building

programmes. In a report dated 21^st October 1908 he state that two of the contracts for the 1909-10 programme had already been placed, six months before the money for their construction had been voted by the Reichstag. A further report dated 16^th November stated that by October 1911 the German Navy might have ten dreadnoughts and three battle-cruisers completed. This was overstated as the actual number was seven dreadnoughts and two battle-0cruisers. By March 1909 Heath was reporting that by the beginning of 1912 Germany would have 13 battleships, and battleship-cruisers ready for service.
