- Commander Noel M. F. Corbett, 2 December, 1929 – 10 June, 1930
- Captain Cyril G. Sedgwick, 11 June, 1930 – 31 July, 1930 (and as Captain (D), Third Destroyer Flotilla)

- Captain George F. Stevens-Guille, 16 May, 1940[15] – 27 July, 1940[16]
I have no idea what is up with Maunsell. His service records seem at odds with Miles's.
