Dear Ms. Simmons,
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 log of the USS Reeves (DLG-24) for 1965. The deck logs you seek are closed for digitization. Please see the blog CLOSED - Vietnam War-era U.S. Navy & Coast Guard Deck Logs for Digitization Project for more information. National Archives staff are currently working to refile deck logs that have been digitized under this project. When these records are reopened we will post a follow up reply. We regret any inconvenience this may cause you.

Thank you so much, Jason. My experience with the research/Archives has been the same. I appreciate you reviewing this request for me, though.
Thanks,

Dear Ms. Simmons,
This is to provide an update on your request.
The deck logs for the USS Reeves for May through October 1965 have now been digitized and may be viewed online using the National Archives Catalog. Please note that the Catalog does not always list logs in chronological order. When viewing logs for each month, you may wish to click on the red PDF icon under the “Documents” heading. This will allow you to view the entire month’s logs as a single file. Once you have done so, you may use the blue download button to download the PDF. Also, some of the logs are missing the image thumbnail in the Catalog, which is a known glitch which our staff is working to correct. Viewing them as PDFs should provide access to the entire log. Due to the size of the files involved, it may take a little while for them to load in full. Please be patient. If you have any problems accessing these files, please email Catalog@nara.gov.
We hope this information is helpful.
