Jean-Marie Huon de Kermadec

Jean-Marie Huon de Kermadec (Brest, 15 August 1747 — Brest, 31 May 1796)[1] was a French Navy officer.

Career

Kermadec was born to the family of Anne François du Mesacm de Mescaradec and of Jean Guillaume Huon de Kermadec. He was the brother of Jean-Michel Huon de Kermadec, and nephew of François Pierre Huon de Kermadec.

Kermadec joined the Navy as a Garde-Marine on 12 January 1766.[2] He was promoted to Lieutenant on 13 March 1779.[2]

Serving on the 74-gun Annibal, in the division under Suffren, Kermadec took part in the Battle of Porto Praya. He was wounded by a bullet to the thigh, but refused to receive medical attention before the fighting was over.[3] In February 1782, Kermadec transferred on the 40-gun frigate Pourvoyeuse.[1] Later, he was given command of the 24-gun corvette Subtile and took part in the Battle of Negapatam on 6 July 1782.[4][5] [Note 1]
