We searched our holdings and located the deck logs of the USS Eaton (DD-510) from December 4, 1942 to December 31, 1945 in Record Group 24: Records of the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Entry P 118-A1, Series: Logbooks of U.S. Navy Ships and Stations, 1941–1991. As they have not yet been digitized, you have three options for obtaining access to and copies of these records:
You can visit the National Archives in College Park, MD in person. For information about scheduling a visit please see our website at https://www.archives.gov/college-park. For additional questions about visiting please email us at archives2reference@nara.gov.

Similar to a deck log, most war diaries provide a day-to-day record of operational activities and sometimes administrative activities as well.
