Royal Navy (RN) Officers
1939-1945

Looking for details on a RN officer not listed here yet?
Just e-mail me, and I might be able to help out.
Of course, any additions, corrections etc. can also be e-mailed.

Note. In naval circles it is custom to refer to the commander of a vessel as Captain. The Navy List bears the phrase "in command". Strictly out of practical considerations "Commanding Officer" is used here on this site. Abbreviations and explanations can be found at the help page.
