Apr. 26, 1898, ch. 191, § 7
(less last proviso), 30
Stat. 365.
Applicability of the source law to the Air Force is
based on Transfer Order No. 25(zzz), of the Secretary of
Defense, dated October 14, 1948. Its applicability, other
than to the Army and the Air Force, is based upon an
opinion of the Judge Advocate General of the Navy,
JAG 135: DDC; dmt.; 4229, dated July 29, 1960. The words
‘‘(but not above that of pay grade O–7)’’ are substituted
for section 235a (proviso) of existing title 37.
§ 902. Pay of crews of wrecked or lost naval ves-
sels
(a) When the accounts of the disbursing officer
of a naval vessel are lost as a result of the de-
struction of the vessel, his return for the last
month may, unless there is official evidence to
the contrary, be used in computing later credits
to and settling accounts of persons, other than
officers, carried on his accounts. If the return
for the last month has not been made, the pay
accounts may be settled on principles of equity
and justice.
(b) When a naval vessel is lost or has not been
heard from for so long that her loss may be pre-
sumed, the Secretary of the Navy may fix the
date of loss of the vessel for the purpose of set-
tling the accounts of persons aboard other than
officers.
(c) When the crew of a naval vessel is sepa-
rated from that vessel because of her wreck,
loss, or destruction, the pay and emoluments of
those officers and enlisted members that the
Secretary considers (because of the sentence of
a court-martial or the finding of a court of in-
quiry, or by other satisfactory evidence) to have
done their utmost to save the vessel and, after
the wreck, loss, or destruction, to have behaved
themselves according to the discipline of the
Navy, continue and shall be paid to them until
their discharge or death, whichever is earlier.

In subsections (a) and (c), the words ‘‘naval vessel’’
are substituted for the words ‘‘any vessel of the United

words ‘‘vessel in the employ of the United States’’, in
