NAVAIR 38 — Military Ops · IMO 8101745

NAVAIR 38 has not broadcast an AIS position for 11 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Gulf of Mexico, on 26 Oct 2026, 11:15 UTC. It was sailing from KEY WEST to KEY WEST. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

NAVAIR 38 broadcasts MMSI 369970517 and is registered as IMO 8101745, with call sign NAWC38. The MMSI is the radio identifier used by AIS; the IMO number stays with the ship for life and does not change with re-flagging or sale.

NAVAIR 38 is classified as a military ops vessel registered under the US flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full military ops fleet at /vessel-type/military-special and full US flag list at /flag/us.

AIS transponders broadcast position every 2 seconds when underway at high speed and up to every 3 minutes at anchor. The position you see refreshes whenever the ship is in range of a coastal AIS receiver or a satellite pass — typically seconds in coastal waters and minutes offshore.
