NAVAL VESSEL REGISTER IS NOW ONLINE

http://www.nvr.navy.mil

The Naval Vessel Register (NVR) is the official inventory of ships and
service craft in the custody of, or titled by, the US Navy. Referred to
by Congress in the statutes of the United States Code, Title 10,
Sections 7304-7308, the NVR is maintained as directed by US Navy
Regulations, Article 0406, of 14 SEP 1990. Vessels are listed in the
NVR when the classification and hull number(s) are assigned to ships and
service craft authorized to be built by the President, or when CNO
requests instatement or reinstatement of vessels as approved by SECNAV.
Once listed, the ship or service craft remains in the NVR throughout its
life as a Navy asset, and afterwards its final disposition is recorded.

The NVR has been maintained and published by NAVSHIPSO since 1962. The
NVR now exists as an electronic document only. It is maintained and
updated weekly. Over 6,500 separate record transactions are processed
annually with each being supported by official documentation. The NVR
includes a current list of ships and service craft on hand, under
construction, converted, loaned/leased and those assigned to the
Military Sealift Command. Ship class, fleet assignment, name, age,
homeport, planning yard, custodian, hull and machinery characteristics,
builder, key construction dates, battle forces, local defense and
miscellaneous support forces, and status conditions are some of the data
elements provided.

This information resides on a DoD interest computer. Important
conditions, restrictions, and disclaimers apply.
