Seeking Navy Board of Inquiry records

Joel Wilhelm Oct 29, 2019 9:06 AM

I am looking for the records of a U.S. Navy Board of Inquiry into an explosion on board the submarine O-5 (sometimes referred to as U-5). The explosion occurred on October 5, 1918 while the submarine was at the Brooklyn Naval Yard. The Board of Inquiry would have been in late 1918 or 1919. Thank you!

Dear Mr. Wilhelm,

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located a series titled Court of Inquiry Proceedings, 1909-1971 in the Records of the Office of the Judge Advocate General (Navy) (Record Group 125) that are in the custody of the National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDT1). For access to these records, please contact RDT1 via email at archives1reference@nara.gov.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
