Three password protected laptop computers have been identified as missing 
from the Navy College Office located on Naval Station San Diego. While the 
Navy College Office does not have complete information about what 
information was on the laptops, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) 
may be on the computers, including Sailors' names, rates and ratings, 
social security numbers, and college course information.

This potential compromise of information could impact Sailors and former 
Sailors homeported on San Diego ships from January 2003 to October 2005 
and who were enrolled in the Navy College Program for Afloat College 
Education. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) is 
investigating the incident as a possible theft, working with the San Diego 
police department to recover the computers.
