The Hellenic Navy played a crucial role in the Balkan Wars, ensuring Greek dominance in the Aegean Sea, securing key islands, and preventing Ottoman reinforcements from reaching the front lines.
Periklis Argyropoulos (Greek: Periklis I. Argyropoulos; 1871–1953) was a Greek naval officer, politician and diplomat. Born in Athens in 1871, he became a naval officer and retired with the rank of rear admiral. During the First Balkan War, he commanded the torpedo boat No. 14, and on 9 November 1912, he sank the wooden Ottoman armed steamer Trabzon off Ayvalık. In 1917, he served in the short-lived cabinet of Alexandros Zaimis as Transport Minister, and again in the same post in 1926 under Athanasios Eftaxias. During the Metaxas Regime, he was appointed ambassador to Spain. He was also the maternal uncle of Aspasia Manos, the wife of King Alexander of Greece.
Vassos Germenis (1896 – 1966) was a Greek painter and sculptor.
