US Navy: December release of 110-page Range Fouler report batch
Naval officials published an additional 110-page batch of Range Fouler reports during December 2023. These documents emerged from FOIA case processing initiated in November 2020 and July 2022 regarding USS Roosevelt incidents. Despite filename metadata suggesting June 2023, actual public release occurred six months later.
Background
During December 2023, the U.S. Navy released another substantial cache of documentation totaling one hundred ten pages. This disclosure resulted from persistent advocacy referencing New York Times reporting on carrier group encounters. Via TheBlackVault.com (FOIA), the records cover unspecified timeframes potentially related to USS Theodore Roosevelt operations. Notably, the filename indicated preparation date suggesting June, yet public accessibility only materialized at year end. These redacted forms continue reflecting stringent classification protocols governing sensitive military materials.
