CHARLESTON-BORN 4 STAR ADMIRAL
SERVING ON NAVY GENERAL STAFF
A Charleston-born four-star admiral, Charles Philip Snyder, has been appointed a member of the navy's general staff by an executive order of the President. He will serve as naval inspector general.
Adm. Snyder, who visited in Charleston in November of 1944 when he spoke to members of the Charleston Rotary club, has spent 50 years in the navy.
He was graduated from Charleston high school in 1896 and entered the naval academy at Annapolis, where he was graduated in 1900. He is the son of the late Philip and Jane Goshorn Snyder and was born in Chalreston on July 10, 1879.
In 1933 he was promoted to the rank of rear admiral and is believed to be West Virginia's only four-star admiral. He has commanded the Argonne, Concord and Tennessee and has served as commandant of the Portsmouth, N. H., navy yard and as president of the Naval War college at Newport. He is the only member of his class of 200 at Annapolis to be a four-star admiral.
His son, Charles P., Jr., also is an Annapolis graduate and holds the rank of captain in the U. S. navy. The admiral also has two daughters. His wife died several years ago. He has received the Navy Cross, as well as other decorations and citations.
Other members of the navy's general staff include Feet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, chief of naval operations; James V. Forrestal, secretary of the navy; John L. Sullivan assistant secretary of the navy; one rear admiral and seven vice admirals.
