U.S. Navy Records

World War II & Korean War and Viet Nam Navy Records are usually in the form of very detailed Log Books , usually filed monthly. Logs give day-by-day information about a ship's (or submarine's) activity, allowing you to discover where the ship went and what it did. The information is logged chronologically each day. Often, a roster of the officers on board is included for each month. Research results depend on the records procedures of the ship.  Some logs have listings of some of the crew.
