Stoker naval career began in 1900 with training aboard HMS Britannia. By 1904 he had been promoted to acting sub-lieutenant, and began studying at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich. He volunteered for the Royal Navy Submarine Service. Aged 23 he was given a submarine command and promoted to lieutenant. Later he was given responsibility to open Britain's first submarine station on Gibraltar.
