Navy secrecy in casualty notices limits public updates
Navy casualty reporting remains under the welfare division of the Bureau of Naval Personnel and is overseen by Rear Admiral Randall Jacobs. Ships in action face communication strain and inability to provide specific progress reports on wounded sailors, though efforts are made to inform families when possible. Messages of cheer from home are not relayed during operations.
