Need Deck Logs for USS Benjamin Stoddert (DDG-22)

Dear Mr. Taranovich,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the Logbooks of U.S. Navy Ships and Stations, 1941-1983 in the Records of the Bureau of Naval Personnel (Record Group 24) for the USS Benjamin Stoddart (DDG-22) for 1972 to September 1975. We also located the series Personnel Diaries and Muster Rolls, 1/1/1972 - 1/31/1983 and located muster rolls of the USS Benjamin Stoddart for the same time period. Muster rolls/Personnel Diaries from 1971 onward utilize social security numbers as service numbers and are subject to privacy restrictions. Those subject to privacy restrictions must be requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

For access to the deck logs and muster rolls/personnel diaries of the USS Benjamin Stoddart (DDG-22) for 1972 to September 1975, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.

We hope this information is helpful.
