Naval Vessel Register explained
The Naval Vessel Register (NVR) holds valuable information on all naval crafts throughout the vessels lifecycle but also extends to all naval vessels that have been removed from the register such as where the vessel has sunk. Where the naval vessels have been disposed off their information will no longer be held on the Naval Vessel Register.
Vessels detailed on the NVR are only listed once the classification number and hull number is issued to a ship and by which has been authorized by the President of the United States.
All NVR vessels are considered as a naval asset and are listed on the register for the vessels entire lifetime. The register is updated on a weekly basis.
Vessels that are struck off from the NVR are sometimes used as a reserve fleet in the National Defense Reserve Fleet for USA.
The NVR includes the following;
- Current naval crafts
- Naval vessels under construction
- Crafts that are converted, loaned or leased
- Crafts assigned to the Military Sealift Command
