.
Entering the navy at the See also:age of twelve, his See also:father's See also:interest secured his rapid promotion: he was made a See also:lieutenant on the 15th of December 1820; on the 8th of See also:February 1823 he was promoted to be See also:commander of the " See also:Fly " See also:sloop, his See also:good service in which in support of the interests of British merchants at See also:Callao secured his promotion as captain on the 5th of See also:June 1824
.
He afterwards served in the Mediterranean and on the See also:home station
.
In 1849–1852 he was See also:commodore commanding the Channel See also:squadron, and gave See also:evidence of a remarkable aptitude for command

He was made See also:rear-admiral in May 1853, and for the next four years was See also:superintendent of See also:Portsmouth dockyard
.
He was made See also:vice-admiral in February 1858, and after a See also:year as a See also:lord of the See also:admiralty, was appointed commander-in-See also:chief in the Mediterranean
.
The discipline of the navy was then See also:bad
.
It was a tradition sprung from the wholesale shipment of See also:gaol-birds during the old See also:war, that the men were to be treated without See also:consideration; moreover the See also:ships had been largely filled up with " See also:bounty men" bought into the service with a £10 See also:note:without training
.
Out of this unpromising material Martin formed the fleet which was at that See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

- TIME, STANDARD
time the ideal of excellence
.
He had no war service, and, beyond the See also:Italian disturbance of 186o--61, no opportunity for showing See also:diplomatic ability
.
But his memory lives as that of the reformer of discipline and the originator of a comprehensive See also:system of See also:steam manoeuvres
.
He became an admiral in See also:November 1863, and on the 4th of December succeeded to the baronetcy which had been conferred on his grandfather
.
His last See also:appointment was the command at See also:Plymouth, 1866–1869, and in 187o he was put on the retired See also:list
.
In 1873 the G.C.B. was conferred on him, and in 1878 he was made rear-admiral
.
He died at Upton See also:Grey, near Winchfield, on the 24th of See also:March 1895
.
He was twice married, and See also:left, besides daughters, one son, who succeeded to the baronetcy
