Became Captain in the Royal Navy.
There is a List of Royal Navy Captains 1714-1830, which includes a Charles Phillips (born ca.1784, died 1839). "The Gentlemen's Magazine" of April 1840, p.423, has the obituary of this Captain Charles Phillips, FRS, who clearly is not the one in the Phillips ancestry (wrong father & wife).
However, the said list does NOT contain a Richard Charles Phillips.
