== Naval career ==
Gore joined the Royal Navy in August 1781, as a Captain's Servant, and would have served as a Midshipman, before gaining promotion to Lieutenant on 26 November 1789 and Commander on 24 May 1794.〔(The Peerage )〕 The Royal Navy had just captured the French corvette ''Fleche'' at the capture of Bastia, in which Gore had played a significant role and had been injured. The Navy took the corvette into service as HMS ''Fleche'' and commissioned her under Gore. He fitted her out and sailed her to Malta where he negotiated with the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller Emmanuel de Rohan-Polduc for seamen, supplies, and the like. On 13 September Gore was a witness at the trial of Lieutenant William Walker, commander of the hired armed cutter ''Rose'', on charges that Walker had accepted money from merchants at Bastia to convoy their vessels to leghorn, where the courtmartial took place. Walker was acquitted.〔Byrn (2009), p.31-3.〕
Gore received promotion to post captain on 14 November 1794.〔 When in command of HMS ''Triton he took part in the successful Action of 16 October 1799 in which two Spanish frigates were captured and more than 2 million silver dollars taken. While commanding the 32-gun frigate HMS ''Medusa'', he took part in the Action of 5 October 1804. Promoted to rear-admiral on 4 December 1813, he became Commander-in-Chief, The Nore from 1818 to 1821. Promoted to vice-admiral on 27 May 1825,〔 he served as Commander-in-Chief, East Indies and China Station from 1831 to 1834.〔(William Loney RN )〕
