Seeking deck logs of USS Hancock

Linda Hewgley Aug 29, 2019 6:39 PM

I need to prove that the USS Hancock operated within 12 NM of the Vietnam demarcation line during the 1962 Westpac Cruise. Does anyone have that long information for this cruise? Does anyone have copies of the deck logs showing the ship's positions?

Dear Ms. Hewgley,

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) that include the deck logs of the USS Hancock (CVA-19) from January 1962 through December 1962. These records have been digitized and can be viewed online through our Catalog.

We hope this information is helpful.
