What are hull numbers usefull for?
Hull Identification Numbers (HIN) or the boat registration numbers on the hull? The HIN is placed on the boat during manufacture. It is similar to a VIN number on a vehicle.

Where do you find the VIN on an old boat?
Usually on the transom - it might be a thin plate covered by layers of paint. To be more precise, after October, 1972 vessels built in the United States were required to place 12 digit hull identification numbers (sometimes referred to as HIN) on the vessel's hull. The HIN is typically sighted on the starboard side transom of these vessels. These numbers are typically imprinted or engraved into the hull. Foriegn made vessels will typically have a hull manufactuerer number somewhere on the back quarters of the exterior hull or inside the hull. These foriegn vessels are not HIN numbers like you see in the United States but more hull numbers based on how many were produced of that model (such as "hull number 512").

How do you get the names of Navy ships by hull numbers?
Not all Navy ships have formal names; they're only listed by their hull numbers. However, the best source for current and former ships which have both is the NavSource site. See the URL at the link below.
How are U.S. Navy ships numbered?
U.S. Navy ship numbers are actually the assigned hull numbers from their shipyard construction program; one thing that isn't widely known publicly is that the numbers are actually painted inside the weld marks on the hull itself that spell the number (there are other weld marks around a hull besides on the bow). By doing this, if a ship is ever sunk and her numbers weren't visible, she could be identified by the number weld marks on the hull. The Navy program office in charge of the building project will assign the numbers, typically based on historical class, or if a new class, a new series will be adopted. In cases where numbers have become high due to so many hulls over time, the Navy will opt to start at the beginning again. A good example is the Seawolf and Virginia-class SSN's, which started its hull series in the 20's rather than continue in the 700 series of the Los Angeles class boats. Up until a ship is actually commissioned, it's referred to by its hull number; only after commissioning is it referred to by its name and hull number.
