As far as I know, the R. N. has never kept lists of crews, although for the period 1667 to 1878 it is possible to recreate them from Pay Books and Muster Books now at the National Archives (Kew), which are, effectively, lists of those onboard. In more recent times the Navy List will provide a list of the officers carried, but there is no crew list to consult.
