SSN 680 LOGROOM ARCHIVES

1973 Deck Logs

The Deck Log - Remarks Sheet provides formal UNCLASSIFIED documentation regarding the position and significant daily activities of the USS WILLIAM H. BATES (SSN 680) including destination and departure ports, where moored when in port, and other naval vessels in the vicinity, especially when moored alongside another vessel.

Because the Remarks Sheet is an UNCLASSIFIED document, and given the nature of submarine operations, locations, actvities, and destinations are often omitted or redacted for operational security.

Despite this handicap, the Deck Log Remarks Sheet is a wealth of critical information covering more than 28 years, and provides insight into the daily operations of the ship and crew that were the USS WILLIAM H. BATES (SSN 680).
