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 CO (Commanding Officer) is used here on this site. Abbreviations and explanations can be found at the help page.

13.04.1942 - 24.09.1942 HMS Somali (Tribal class destroyer) [ship torpedoed & sank 20.09.1942; most of the casualties died from cold and exposure]
In a letter home he wrote on February 16, 1941: "I was minesweeping for the first four months of the war round Scapa Flow and the West Coast, and formed quite an affection for the rugged scenery. I was in a fleet sweeper, lovely new things, two-thirds the length of a destroyer. Up to last August we led a very peaceful and secluded life, just cruising round. It was not entirely devoid of interest, as we crossed the Equator four times and visited Bombay, Kenya and Durban where I went up for my first flight in an amphibian Walrus. In September we ran into a spot of trouble, and since then I have lived rather a nomadic existence, having served in 'Ramillies' and 'Juno' (a new class 'J' destroyer) when we assisted at Taranto. We finished our passing out exams, last Thursday—navigation, ship construction, signals and oral seamanship."
