    To reduce your search efforts, VA's database of AO exposed vessels shows Fanning in AO exposed waters on 8 Jan 73 at 1200 hrs.  That log does not appear to be available on line yet but could be specifically ordered from NARA.   Plotted position below.  Red line is the AO exposure zone.

    Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
     

    We have located the requested Deck Logs and we have added the logs to our Deck Log redaction queue. These records were located in Record Group 24: Records of the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Entry P 118-F, Series: Logbooks of U.S. Navy Ships. Since the deck log file contains instances of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), we will redact the scanned copy in accordance with FOIA exemption (b)(6). Once the Deck Log has been redacted the digital images will be added to our online Catalog. You are welcome to periodically check the Catalog for uploads. We encourage you to search for the name of the ship without using “USS” as a prefix. Our catalog of digitized Navy Deck Logs is available in our online Catalog within Record Group 24, Entry P 118, use the “Search within this Series” bar to search for a specific ship. While we have added the requested Deck Log to our queue, due to our current backlog of redaction requests we are unable to provide specific details, estimations, or time tables on when the requested log will be made available on our online catalog. The current quantity of requests has greatly increased our backlog resulting in a substantial delay from time of request until upload on our Catalog. We recommend periodically checking the Catalog for new uploads. Please note there may be a significant delay due to our volume of requested deck logs.

    If you are requesting U.S Navy Deck Logs in relation to a VA Claim, the VA may be able to provide direct assistance with information relating to deck logs. The Department of Veterans Affairs maintains the original set of the U.S. Navy Deck Log digital images for the years 1956 through 1978. Additionally, the Department of Veterans Affairs' Military Records Research Center (MRRC) maintains representatives onsite at the National Archives. These representatives can perform research in relation to Veterans Affairs claims. Veterans or their next-of-kin will need to submit their deck log research and review requests through their VA representative or claims processor. The VA claims processor can work with their Research Coordinators (ROs) to submit research requests to the VA's Military Records Research Center (MRRC). Veterans need not perform research relating to Deck Logs for most VA Claims.

    We invite you to continue the conversation with community members on History Hub, but should you have follow-up questions for the staff at Archives II, please email us at archives2reference@nara.gov so that we can assist you further.

    We hope this assists with your research!

    Sincerely,

    Textual Reference Archives II Branch (RR2RR)
