All of these types of naval records were transferred to the National Archives in Washington, DC, many years ago. They should be held in the Old Military and Civil Records Branch of the Archives. Contact information is as follows:

The Curator Branch here at the Naval Historical Center has posted a research guide called "Sources for the Study of Naval Equipment"
http://www.history.navy.mil/branches/org2-4.htm
You may want to review it for helpful information.
At the National Archives, you will probably need to review records in Record Group (RG) 74, Records of the Bureau of Ordnance http://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/074.html
We encourage you to consult a reference professional at the Archives for further assistance.
