There were probably quite a few. However one of the first would have been Rear Admiral Sir Henry Harwood. On 13th December, 1939 he was Commodore South American Division of the American & West Indies Station flying his flag on HMNZS Achilles when the pocket battleship Graf Spee was sighted by Hunting Group G, HMS Exeter, HMS Ajax & HMNZS Achilles, (HMS Cumberland was under repair in the Falklands). For this action he was promoted to Rear Admiral on 23rd december, 1939. Good answer above. Admiral Somerville was in command of Force H which was instrumental in the pursuit & sinking of the Bismarck.

Admiral Zinovy Rozhestvensky.
The greatest Japanese Naval Commander is Admiral Togo, whose Battleship Fleet defeated the Russian Battleship Fleet at the, "Battle of Tsushima", on 27 May 1905. Admiral Togo, is the ONLY naval commander in history, to have won a DECISIVE modern BATTLESHIP FLEET action. Admiral Zinovy Rozhestvensky, commander of the Russian Battle fleet at Tsushima, is the only other naval commander in HISTORY, to have fought a DECISIVE (steel battleships) BATTLESHIP FLEET ACTION! Note* The Battle of Jutland (WWI, 1916) was NOT decisive. Individual battleship engagements during WWII are NOT "fleet" engagements.
A British home base for their Atlantic fleet,I believe the ships used in the destruction of the Bismark came from here.

Officers are addressed either by rank (Captain, Commander, etc.), or by Sir or Ma'am as the case may be. If you know the officer, it's customary to address them by rank and name (e.g., Commander Lawless). It depends on the circumstances as well, if it's in passing, in private, or a formal meeting, unit gathering, off duty, etc.
US Commodore George Dewey.
There are multiple bases that make up the Atlantic fleet, such as Mayport FL, Norfolk VA, Pascagoula MI. Any ship that works in the Atlantic Fleet region can be considered part of the Atlantic Fleet.
