Welcome to our new web page on district craft!
The information and lists of district craft comes from a variety of sources ranging from Jane's Fighting Ships to official US Naval (Department of the Navy) documents, materials from sailors and donors to our collection.
We wish to obtain material including but not limited to narratives regarding purpose of these types of ships, designs, assignement and battles. We are interested in acquiring deck logs, cruise books, roster-muster rolls, photos, citations and technical operation and training materials for as many US district craft as possible.
We are also looking for volunteers to help us write these narratives and to transribe roster muster rolls so that we can get this material into our searchable database.
You can make donations and contact us to assist-volunteer or answer questions. Help us Save Military History One Sailor at a Time and the history of the US district craft.

Documents are not meant to be a complete record, they are only what has been reasonbly-readable.
