How do Naval Documents look?

Question

How does documents in the navy look like? Images would help, otherwise detailed descriptions please as much as you can. For example what info is on each document [name, date, location, etc.]? and where they are [top-right, bottom-left, etc.] If there are logos and other such images or marks on the documents.

It's for a school project. Realism is needed

What I need is more for personal writing. Somewhat like a diary or journal a navy admiral would keep to write in as days go by in a war.

That's good enough for now. But I forgot to add that I'm looking for Japanese naval documents [although I will be writing in English, so it's not terribly important besides for logos]

Please add your contributions if you can, but otherwise I can go with what I have so far.

Thanks

OK ... here are a few images of ships' logs and other items for you. You can find more by going to Google search, images.
