This is a list of all Captains of all branches of the Royal Navy during the First World War. Dates of promotion are taken from editions of the Navy List, The London Gazette or biographical notices in The Times newspaper. Dates of birth are from The National Archives website, service records or biographical notices in The Times. There may be some discrepancies in dates of promotion, as sometimes the Navy List and London Gazette dates do not match.
