Comments.Text: Hi, Erik! Thanks ... FPO is an original ARMY term, also known by the Navy as Fleet Post Office associated with Ships and Navy installations.  It is a location where (physical) mail can be sent and then follow defense channels for distribution.  Specific to my case, the U.S. Navy Sailing Association needs to make use of FPO addressing.
