What happens to US Navy ship's logs (Captain’s Daily Journals) when the ship is decommissioned? Are they kept in archives? Destroyed? Available to the public?

Navy Deck Logs for the period of the last thirty years are maintained at the Naval Historical Center, located in the Washington Navy Yard. You can obtain copies of individual pages from them at a cost per page. Those older than 30 years are kept at the National Archives and are also retrievable. No, the Navy doesn't discard them. The logs at the National Archives go all the way back to the USS Rover, the first vessel commissioned during the American War for Independence.

they don't placed a tag on each and every little bit of apparatus to perceive the deliver. What that's beneficial to do is see if the enterprise that equipped your receiver remains open. With some extreme tech kit, they could have a checklist of sending it to a particular deliver (as against, say, sending out one hundred receivers and letting somebody else deploy them without information saved.) additionally, attempt seeing if there are previous-timer communities accessible for Naval radio operators that yo could take the piece to or ask them questions.

They are archived in the National Archives after being sanitized.
