Administrative/Biographical history:

Ogle entered the Navy in 1697. He became a lieutenant in 1702 and a commander in 1703. He was posted in 1708 and served for the remainder of the war, mostly in the Mediterranean. He commanded the PLYMOUTH in the Baltic in 1716 and the WORCESTER in 1717. After service on the coast of Africa, for which he was knighted, in the Mediterranean and in the West Indies, he was promoted to rear-admiral in 1739. In 1740 he was sent out to join Vice-Admiral Edward Vernon with reinforcements and took part in the attack on Cartagena 1741.
