Introduction
People
sometimes ask for crew lists of Royal Navy warships and
these are rarely available.
Over time, I
have found we don't even know with any accuracy the
complements of various ships, which changed
continuously, let alone the types and numbers of
officers and ratings.
When a ship
was lost with most, if not all of their crews, I
realised it would be possible to analyse the
casualty lists to
arrive at these numbers. This I have done for a range of
World War 1 warships and auxiliaries. Note these are not
necessarily the ship's official "establishments", but
the list of those lost from that ship at that time.
Only ranks and branches are used
in these lists. Grades and classes, acting, temporary
and probationary titles etc.have been removed
Abbreviations
include:
MMR - Mercantile
Marine Reserve
RMA - Royal Marine Artillery
RMLI - Royal Marine Light Infantry
RNR - Royal Naval Reserve
RNVR - Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve
Visitors might
like to consider doing the same analysis for other WW1
ships, and even those of WW2 for which casualty and survivor lists exist.
A historical
study - say Napoleonic War to the present - would be
even more interesting.
Warrant Officers
Most Royal
Navy and Royal Marine ranks are straightforward - Boy to
Chief Petty Officer, Midshipman to Admiral of the Fleet,
but in the middle are the sometimes puzzling
Warrant
Officers, a rank that has only been discontinued
in 2010.
Following are
a list of what I believe to be the Warrant Officer
ranks existing in the World War 1 period. Any
corrections would be appreciated:
