Biografía

Charles Stuart Forbes fue promovido al rango de teniente el 13 de marzo de 1848 y el 16 de marzo de 1855 recibió su primer mando, el de la cañonera a vapor Mar Báltico.

El 26 de febrero de 1858 fue ascendido a comandante. Los siguientes dos años viajó por Europa y escribió tres libros: Iceland, its volcanoes, geysers and glaciers, The campaign of Garibaldi in the Two Sicilies y A standing navy: its necessity and organization.

El 9 de agosto de 1861 fue puesto al mando del sloop HMS Curlew, afectado a la estación naval del Atlántico Sur. Una de sus últimas acciones consistieron en el bloqueo del puerto de Río de Janeiro donde junto a la fragata HMS Forte, buque insignia al mando del capitán Thomas Saumarez, la balandra HMS Stromboli (comandante Arthur Robert Henry), la corbeta John Ormsby Johnson) y la cañonera 1862 pasó a servir como capitán del Keangsoo, buque insignia del escuadrón naval al mando de Sherard Osborn formado por el gobierno Chino para combatir a los piratas y a la Rebelión Taiping.
