10 U.S.C. § 8912 — Accounts of paymasters of lost or captured naval vessels
submitted 44 years ago by Pub. L. 97-258 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 85 words · no verdicts yet
When a Navy ship is lost or captured, the Comptroller General and the Secretary of the Navy must credit the ship's paymaster for supplies and money they believe were inevitably lost because of that loss or capture. Once credited, the paymaster owes nothing for those lost items.
When settling the financial accounts of a paymaster from a naval vessel that was lost or captured, the Comptroller General (for money accounts) and the Secretary of the Navy (for property accounts) must credit the paymaster for the value of provisions, clothing, small stores, and money the paymaster was charged with, if they believe those items were inevitably lost because the ship was lost or captured. After that credit, the paymaster no longer owes anything for those items.
When settling the account of a paymaster of a lost or captured naval vessel, the Comptroller General in settling money accounts, and the Secretary of the Navy in settling property accounts, shall credit the account of the paymaster for the amount of provisions, clothing, small stores, and money for which the paymaster is charged that the Comptroller General or Secretary believes was lost inevitably because of the loss or capture. The paymaster is then free of liability for the provisions, clothing, small stores, and money.
