Frank Hamilton Newcomb (10 November 1846 - 20 February 1934) was a Commodore in the United States Revenue Cutter Service. Commodore Newcomb was most famous for his heroic actions at the Battle of Cárdenas during the Spanish-American War. Newcomb was born in Boston, Massachusetts. Before joining the Revenue Cutter Service, he served in the Navy from 1863 to 1865. Newcomb ordered Hudson to tow Winslow out of harms way. Under heavy fire, she did just that, despite nearly foundering on shoals trying to fast a line to Hudson. Newcomb's actions saved USS Winslow from destruction and possible capture.
