 Definition of Naval Vessel Registry
The Bureau of Ordnance's "Vessel Register", first published in 1942 and retitled "Naval Vessel Register", was combined with the "Ships Data Book" under the Bureau of Ships in 1959.
Vessels are listed in the NVR when the classification and hull number(s) are assigned to ships and service craft authorized to be built by the President of the United States, or when Chief of Naval Operations requests instatement or reinstatement of vessels as approved by the Secretary of the Navy.
The NVR includes a current list of ships and service craft on hand, under construction, converted, loaned/leased, or to be loaned, and those assigned to the Military Sealift Command.

  Part 1: Nominating Historic Vessels and Shipwrecks to the National Register of Historic Places Bulletin (Nrb 20)
Vessels may be located in a variety of situations; some may be afloat or beached on a shoreline; others may be located in drydock, artificial mooring basin, or be displayed on dry land, either in the open or under cover.
A vessel largely rebuilt through the years without attention to preserving the original design features (such as hull form, original materials, method of construction, and, to a lesser degree of importance, rig) that is not readily identifiable would not be a good representative of her type.
A vessel loses her integrity of association if she is removed from the water and displayed out of sight of the water, such as a 19th century schooner placed on a lawn, surrounded by a chain-link fence, in front of a factory.

 Naval History Magazine: "A Flotilla Cries Eureka!" By William J. Bray, Jr.
Initially, the Georgetown vessel registry listed her as 84 by 12.9 by 3.2 feet and 32 tons.
She was sort of a naval scout, being able to poke her nose on shore in shallow water and run into creeks that were inaccessible to the larger boats.
She had one major drawback: Because of her light draft and narrow beam, she rolled violently in heavy seas and therefore could not be stationed in the lower Potomac or in the Chesapeake Bay, except in clear weather.

The general area within which the naval forces of belligerents are permitted to conduct operations includes: the high seas, the territorial sea and internal waters of belligerents, the territory of belligerents accessible to naval forces, and the air space over such waters and territory.
The summoned vessel, if a neutral, is bound to stop, lie to, and display her colors: if an enemy vessel, she is not so bound and legally may even resist by force, but she thereby assumes all risks of resulting damage.
Neutral vessels and aircraft in urgent distress may be permitted to enter a blockaded area, and subsequently to leave it, under conditions prescribed by the commander of the blockading force.

When three or more of the vessels happened to be in harbor at the same time a few hours would suffice to mount a couple of heavy guns on each, and at early dawn a successful raid might be made upon the unsuspecting blockaders.
After a raid or cruise the vessels could be divested of every appliance of war, and resuming their private ownership and commercial names, could bring off cargoes of cotton to pay the cost of the cruise.

Ships with only two digits in their registry number: I conjecture that, at first, the main shipyard had an ident number of 0, which was not put in front of the other two digits.

A vessel could be ruled to be inadequately manned if it were at sea or even if it were about to go to sea.
For Captain Saleem Modak to arrogantly dismiss the Canadian certificate of registry because he has determined the ship is not a pleasure craft, and is in his opinion, a commercial cargo vessel is both illegal and unacceptable.
