Re: RN Crew lists

<HTML>Dave ,

I have just finished 6 years of research into lend lease aircraft carrier HMS Queen. A list of the crew was also in my mind. The ships complement without a squadron was some 400+ men.

In six years of research I have never found a crew list in any Admiralty or PRO file and I don't expect to. Currently I am in contact with about 60 former crew members although I am now certain that over 1,000 men served on this ship in her RN life.

It was routine for the RN to constantly turn over men on warships which - I suspect - was designed to ensure that mutinies could not be orchestrated.

Hope this helps.
