[665] This list is compiled from two lists of naval officers
which are now found in the Division of Manuscripts of the Library
of Congress. One of these was prepared by the Naval Department
in 1781, the other by the Auditor’s Office of the Treasury
Department in 1794. A complete roster of the naval officers of
the Revolution does not exist. The list now printed is almost
complete. It may contain a few inaccuracies. The names are
arranged alphabetically, with the exception of those of the first
twenty-four naval captains, which are arranged according to rank.
