MAIL FOR DECOMMISSIONED SHIPS
AND DISESTABLISHED STATIONS
The administrative commander for ships and
mobile units and the CNO area coordinator or area
commander for other disestablished or
decommissioned activities will designate an activity to
perform directory service for mail received for the
decommissioned unit. Directory service will be
performed by the designated command for a period of
60 days after decommissioning. During this time
personal mail will be forwarded and official mail
screened for necessary action or other appropriate
disposition. Mail received after expiration of the
60-day period will be returned to the sender endorsed
to show the activity was decommissioned.
There is an exception. After the expiration of the
60-day forwarding period, obvious value supply
parcels addressed to decommissioned units should
continue to be forwarded to the appropriate
commander for disposition pending publication of the
decommissioning. The command listings are deleted
in serial changes to the SNDL. Obvious supply parcels
received at the JMPAs subsequent to publication in the
SNDL will be returned to the mailer endorsed to
indicate that the unit has been decommissioned.
In no case may official mail addressed to a United
States ship be forwarded unopened to the new title of
that ship when it has been stricken from the Navy List
and transferred to a foreign government or to the
Merchant Marine service.
Personnel assigned as MPCs, mail orderlies, or to
other positions where their duties involve the receipt and
delivery of unopened mails normally are not assigned to
duties involving opening and screening of official mail.
Commanding officers of ships and activities being
decommissioned or placed in the reserve fleet must
furnish the activity designated to provide directory
service with a complete directory of officers and
enlisted personnel. This directory must show the new
duty station of each crewmember, or, in the case of
personnel separated from the service, the forwarding
address furnished by the individual. The designated
activity should destroy this directory information upon
completion of the 60-day forwarding period.
The command being disestablished should inform
the appropriate mail-routing authority or postmaster of
the date desired for routing of mail to the unit that will
provide directory service for the decommissioned unit.
Q11-16. List the three endorsements that should
NEVER be placed on casualty mail.

ship will be performed by a designated
activity for what period of time?
