Flag-rank Assignments
Hogg was promoted to rear-admiral in 1962 and was Flag Officer Medway and Admiral Superintendent Chatham Dockyard. He was appointed CB in 1964.
As a vice-admiral he was the Defence Services Secretary from 1966 to 1967, managing the relationship between the Ministry of Defence and the Royal Family and also maintaining the balance of appointments of senior officers to tri-service “defence department” posts — those posts which are rotated between the services. His final tour was as Vice-Chief of Defence Staff during a difficult period of retrenchment in the defence sector. He was appointed KCB and retired in 1970.
