Latest Update: 30 March, 2008

As of 30 March we are continuing our work of posting basic personal details and dates of promotion for a larger number of officers. This work has started with Admirals of the Fleet and work backwards through the four flag ranks. It's a big job and will take much time. Little of this information is available elsewhere online apart from for the more well known officers.

We've recently added or updated the following items:

We'll endeavour to make further updates as time permits. In the meantime, if there are any officers you particularly want to see details for, please feel free to e-mail us and we'll move them to the front of the queue.

Additionally, if you have any documents that you feel may be pertinent to the theme of this website, please also contact us .
