War Damage Reports 14th Naval District
K - O
"War Damage Reports" are as the name implies, 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 damag 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, is the largest flatbed allowed at this time. 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.
Where you see 'War Damage Report No. xx' that is the offical naval report.
Where you see the names of two vessels in the VESSELS column the Navy has combined two reports into a single report.
Some of the offical Naval War Damage Reports concerning Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 are not numbered.
You may see that some vessels have more than one report, this can be the result of multiple copies of reports with different attachments, supplementary reports by different commands, or simply the vessel was damaged in two different actions.
