[Milsurplus] USN property tag numbers?

[Nick England]

Thanks, Tim.
Daniel pointed to a document that lists the shore activity UICs.
https://www.secnav.navy.mil/doni/SECNAV%20Manuals/Shore%20Activities%20and%20Detachments%20Under%20the%20Command%20of%20Secretary%20of%20Navy%20and%20Chief%20of%20Naval%20Operations.pdf

I also found this one for operational UICs (ships, etc)
https://www.secnav.navy.mil/doni/SECNAV%20Manuals/Administrative%20Organization%20of%20the%20Operating%20Forces%20of%20the%20U.S.%20Navy.pdf

These are both up-to-date - I haven't found any historic listing yet.

I agree that the other number is an inventory number.
Cheers,
