69,158,202 records

This collection contains muster rolls of the US Navy from World War II, ranging between the years 1938 and 1949 as well as other significant enlistment years prior to it. Records typically include the name of the individual and their enlistment date and place. In addition, some records include the name of the ship where the individual served.<br><br>The United States Navy grew rapidly during World War II, in part due to its increased involvement in assisting the British Royal Navy in Europe but also its own role in the Pacific war with Imperial Japan. In 1941 there were around 380,000 Navy personnel but by the end of the war in 1945 this had grown significantly to around 3.4 million, also boosted by the fact that African Americans could be accepted onto general naval service from April 1942.<br><br>The index of this collection was produced from scanned images of the original documents by MyHeritage.
