British War Damage Reports
These reports are for British vessels that were repaired in the United States during the Second World War. And are the official naval report of damages sustained to the vessel. These reports 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. Where POSSIBLE the original photographs will be inserted as an appendix to the report. Within each report there 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 these 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.
