Captain Hyde Parker, sixth baronet, commanded HMS Latona during the Dogger Bank campaign. He was the younger Hyde Parker, distinct from the vice admiral commanding the British squadron. Two decades later, he served as Nelson's commander at the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801. His career gives this North Sea action a personal connection to the later British operation against Copenhagen and continues the series' recurring association with Denmark.
