1 person found this helpfulDear Mr. Choi,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We searched the National Archives and located 5 record series & 19 file units relating to the Tripartite Naval Commission that allocated German naval assets to the Allied Powers after World War II. For more information about these records, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT2. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.
We also searched for various types of deck logs, but were unable to locate records relating to this ship. According to the Department of the Navy records management regulations, only the deck logs of major combatant and support ships are considered permanent records and are eventually accessioned into the custody of the National Archives.
We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
