Joining the Navy in 1774, Thomas Wells worked his way through the ranking system at the time - three squadrons of Red, White and Blue in an ascending order of seniority, each with an Admiral, Vice Admiral and Rear Admiral. It is believed that Vice Admiral Wells progressed from Rear Admiral of the White to Vice Admiral of the Red in 1808, and would have been promoted to the highest rank of Admiral of the White in June 1814, had he not have died aged 51 on 31st October 1811.
During his naval career his commands were: Swallow (1781), Fury (1782), Champion (1782 - 1783), Iris (1790 - 1792), LaConcorde (1793 - 1794), Melampus (1794), Defence (1794 - 1798) ad Glory (1799- 1804). In 1805 Vice Admiral Wells was a pallbearer at the funeral of Lord Horatio Nelson.
