Under the Freedom of Information Act, [the Memory Hole] requested the number of people who had deserted the United States Navy over the past few years. [They] received the chart below, showing month-by-month totals from January 2000 to July 2003.

In the letter accompanying this chart, the Navy Personnel Command wrote: "More than 91% of those personnel have since returned to military control."
