FAQ - Frequently asked Questions

• 1. Where can I find a ship's history?
  
  
  • One of the best places to find out about a ship's history is www.hazegray.org/danfs/. Unfortunately, histories are often only provided for decommissioned ships.
    
    Histories of commissioned ships might be found on this website (-> Ships List) or on the official homepage of the ship (-> Official US Navy Ships List).

• 2. Where can I find a ship's status?
  
  
  • Information about a ship's status might be found on www.nvr.navy.mil which is the US Navy's Naval Vessel Register.
    
    A more comprehensive site is www.navsource.org. On top of every ship's page you will find detailed information about the vessels fate or status.

• 3. Where can I find photos of a certain US Navy ship?
  
  
  • www.navsource.org - The world's largest online US Navy Ship Photo Collection.

• 4. Can you help me to contact someone who served or is serving in the US Navy?
  
  
  • No. This is an unofficial US Navy website and therefore, I do not have access to any crew lists, email addresses etc.
    All "crew list" information on this website were submitted by the respective sailors.

• 5. Where can I find a ship's mailing adress?
  
  
  • A list of all mailing addresses of US Navy ships can be found at www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/ships/lists/ship-fpo.html

• 6. Why is my ship not listed on the website?
  
  
  • This website is maintained as a hobby and therefore, time to add new ships is limited. That's why I can't tell when the page of a certain ship will be online but new pages are added on a regular basis.
