COMMONLY REQUESTED RECORDS
Contractual Information:
Navy contracts begin with the letter "N" and are followed by 5 digits that represent the Unit Identification Code (UIC) (i.e., activity name). For example, contracts beginning with "N00014" are held by the Chief of Naval Research; "N00019" are held by the Naval Air Systems Command' "N00024" are held by the Naval Sea Systems Command, etc.
The Standard Navy Distribution List (SNDL) lists the UIC and addresses for all Navy activities. Using the Excel version of the SNDL, you can search for the UIC which contains the address to the file of your FOIA request.
Home Addresses of Former Members:
We do not maintain home addresses of former members. Further, home addresses cannot be released under FOIA since release would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
Military Personnel Records of Former Members:
Please visit http://www.nara.gov/regional/mpr.html
Names and Duty Station Addresses including E-Mail Addresses
10
U.S.C. 130(b) prohibits the release of names and duty station addresses and e-mail addresses of individuals who are stationed overseas, routinely deployable (i.e., aboard ships/aircraft), or assigned to sensitive units.
All other addresses are withheld under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6).
Privacy Act Records:
To identify what records this Department may be maintaining on you, visit the Navy's Privacy Act website. Each systems notice identifies how long records are maintained and how to access such records. Please be advised that signatures are required for access to PA systems of records and therefore electronic requests are normally not acceptable.
Ships Histories:
The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, which is located in the reference section of most local libraries, is an excellent resource. You may also wish to visit the Navy's history site at http://www.history.navy.mil.
World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam information:
Information deemed to be historically valuable resides with the National Archives.
