HullNumber.com's mission is to provide a means for shipmates to keep in touch with one another.
Registration and communicating with shipmates at Hullnumber.com is FREE FOREVER.
We ask that you enter only enough information about yourself that your shipmates can recall you... Your ORIGINAL HOMETOWN and State are asked for because that confirms who you are in your shipmate's memories.
