This list is morethan just a list of admirals and other officers; a compilation of theavailable data, it shows each officers name, rank, and signal number,and the command position he held. In part, this indicates howprestigious each type of command was, as presumably the higher rankingthe officer, the more important the command, and within each type ofcommand, the amount of time the officer had held that command. The full list is online athttp://www.geocities.com/scs028a/1941Commanders.html and includes: Lt. commander W. G.
