Royal Navy (RN) Officers
1939-1945
Looking for details on a RN officer not listed here yet?
Juste-mailme, 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. Abbreviations and explanations can be found at the help page.
