Bridges was appointed torpedo officer in HMS Diamond and joined HMS Defiance for command of mining vessels in 1911. He was appointed torpedo officer in Defiance the following year before joining HMS Vernon in 1913 and HMS Hyacinth later in the year at the Cape of Good Hope Station. He was serving in Hyacinth at the outbreak of WWI and was promoted to the rank of Commander in 1915. East Africa 1915-16 Bridges received his D.S.O. whilst commanding H.M.S. Hyacinth in East Africa. Two German ships eluded the Royal Navy bringing weapons and supplies to the German Army in East Africa during 1915 and 1916. The first was Rubens, a Royal Navy ship captured by the Germans at Hamburg on the outbreak of WWI. The ship arrived on 14 April 1915 disguised as a Danish steamer Kronberg. The second ship was Marie on 16 March 1916. H.M.S. Hyacinth was sent to investigate and on spotting the Marie, a bombardment took place resulting in five major hits and 100 minor hits on the Marie. Bridges was involved in both these actions more commonly referred to as “Blockade Runners”, the latter blockade runner being the one in which Bridges received his award.   D.S.O.

Hyacinth to enable her to destroy a store ship which was in the harbour. In order to reach the requisite position the whalers were obliged to run up a narrow harbour, where they were confronted with a heavy fire from 4-in. guns at close range.’   Post-war service saw Bridges serving as Rear Admiral Commanding North America for torpedo duties in 1919 and the following year he moved to the torpedo division where he was promoted to Captain in 1921. He was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral in 1933 and placed on the retired list but re-engaged for service during WWII, being appointed as a Commodore of Convoy to serve as Commodore, Second Class, Royal Naval Reserve, he was placed on the retirement list in 1940 with a small stint of service in 1941 working at Director of Patrols.
