<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''Movement Report System''' (MOVREP) is a system established to collect and make available to certain [[Command (military formation)|commands]] vital information on the status, location, and movement of flag commands, commissioned fleet units, and ships under the operational control of the [[United States Navy]] and U.S. Coast Guard. Such reports help in identifying ships that are lost or missing. The Movement Report System was started for commissioned fleet units and ships under operational control of the Navy. First done by hand, the information is now entered electronically into an [[electronic data processing]] system. <br />
