The Naval Historical Center does not have custody of crew lists
or current addresses for former crew members. However, this information
can be compiled from several sources. The names of the officers
usually appear on the first page of each month's deck log. The
enlisted men assigned to a naval ship or command are listed on
muster rolls which were also submitted monthly.
The Armed Forces World-Wide locators will forward letters to former members of the Navy, receiving retirement pay for active duty or reserve service. For this assistance, one should place their letter in a stamped envelope with just the name of the retired serviceman on the front and with no return address to: Navy
Reserve Personnel Center, 4400 Dauphin Street, New Orleans,
LA 70149.
