You should find any records for men who joined the Royal Navy up to 1923 here, in the Registers of Seamans services. Each record costs £3-50 to download

I suppose WW2 records might be publicly available around 2020? Quite a wait!

There are good few on Ancestry but many are missing. If they were killed CWGC will show them.
Good Luck

Thanks PigletsPal

I was trying to obtain my step-fathers records but I guess I will abandon that for the time being. Did get OH's fathers about 18 months ago but as you say it is costly. Also paid a private person to find my grandfathers army record only to find it on Ancestry about a year later.
