Seeking deck logs of USS Enterprise from 1980-1985

Dear Ms. Forsman,

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 Enterprise (CVN-65) for January 1980 through December 1983. For access to and/or copies of this log, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.

For access to U.S. Navy deck logs dated after 1983, please write to the Ships Deck Logs Section, Naval History & Heritage Command (NHHC), 805 Kidder Breese Street, SE, Washington Navy Yard, Washington, DC 20374-5060 or contact them via email at archives@navy.mil.  For more information see their web page Deck Log Access.

NHHC also has Command Operations Reports for the USS Enterprise.  The reports for these years have been digitized and are available online through their website.

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