From the Wikipedia article

All Hands was a monthly published magazine of the United States Navy for its sailors. It had been published since August 1922 under different names; the current title was established in 1945. Its last issue was published in December 2011, although it continues to be published online. The magazine was free of charge. The publisher was the former Naval Media Center in Washington, D.C. Shortly before the magazine's demise, publication operations moved to Defense Media Activity in Fort George G. Meade, Maryland in August, 2011. All Hands Magazine was brought back as a digital web-based publication in February 2013. It can be read online.
