Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN) Officers
1939-1945
before 01.10.1941: Royal Navy (New Zealand Squadron)

Looking for details on a RNZN 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 CO (Commanding Officer) is used here on this site. More explanation & other abbreviations can be found at the help page
