This is the primary info from that pdf:

phone (703) 695–3131
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY

This is their web page:

You would want: "Public Inquiries (Navy Programs and Current Navy Issues)"

Contact info for the entire war department:

AI gave me this initially before I went and found the rest above:

The mailing address for the U.S. Secretary of the Navy is the [Office of the Secretary of the Navy, 1000 Navy Pentagon, Washington, DC 20350] (https://www.secnav.navy.mil/Pages/Contact.aspx). [1]
