Registration
Ships are registered in the NVR as soon as the President has given his approval to build a new ship unit and the classification and registration number have been assigned. A ship is operated in the NVR as long as it is owned by the US Navy. When it is decommissioned, the date and manner of the whereabouts of the ship are recorded. The register is updated weekly.
