Summary War Damage Reports
There are two (2) different types of summary reports in the list below. The first is a booklet type report 6" X 8", and the standard type of damage report, approximately 8" X 13". The booklet type report shows a small starboard side outline of the vessel, indicating the direction of the incoming plane or gunfire and location of the resulant damage. The standard type report have photographs that show the damage to the vessel and some temporary repairs. The photographs are reproduced on standard stock paper; the quality of the reproduction is not good by any stretch of the imagination, within the standard report are extended length "plates". These plates are a visual representation and location of the damage to the vessel, and form an integral part of the report that cannot be excluded from it. The plates are oversized, meaning, they exceed the scannable area of a NARA approved flatbed scanner, 12" X 17" or tabloid size. The only means of scanning the plates is to have the scan done by NARA. The cost is $3.50 per foot of scan, this cost is subject to change by NARA at any time. The average length of a 'plate' is approximately three (3) feet.
