Ismael Warleta y Ordovás
Ismael Warleta y Ordovás (1836, Madrid – 9 August 1898)[1] was a Spanish Navy officer who served as the Chief of Staff of the Navy from 20 August 1897[2] until his death on 9 August 1898[1] (although his successor was not appointed until 30 March 1899).[3] Warleta's tenure as chief of naval staff coincided with the Spanish–American War, during which he attended a meeting on 23 April 1898 led by the naval minister Segismundo Bermejo y Merelo, where he supported the proposal of deploying Admiral Pascual Cervera y Topete's squadron to Cuba—a decision that led to the Battle of Santiago de Cuba.[4] Previously, he had served as the head of the logistics branch of the Ministry of the Navy,[2] and from 1888 until 1890 he commanded the cruiser Reina Regente as a ship-of-the-line captain.[5]
