<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3>
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during

<h3>Naval Covers</h3>
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the 
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each name of the ship (for 
example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same 
ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner). 
Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't 
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date 
range for covers on that page.
<ol>
<li>[[USS WILLIAM H STANDLEY CG-32_Covers_Page_1 |William H. Standley Covers Page 1 ]] &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1966-88)</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Postmarks</h3>
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a 
separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. Within each set, 
the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one 
postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of 
earliest known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an 
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN 
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
<br/>&nbsp;<br/>
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
'''NAMESAKE''' - William H. Standley, of Ukiah, California, graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1895 and earned a commendation for bravery during the Philippine American War. His career included extensive sea duty, sea commands, and tours ashore, including Commandant of Midshipmen at the Naval Academy; head of the War Plans Division; and, in 1928, Assistant Chief of Naval Operations. Standley eventually attained the post of Commander Battle Force, U.S. Fleet. As Chief of Naval Operations, he frequently performed duties for the ailing Secretary of the Navy. Admiral Standley drafted the Vinson-Trammell Act by which Congress provided the funds for building the Navy to full strength allowed by the Washington and London arms limitation treaties. He advocated a regular ship construction schedule to maintain pace with emerging technologies and sponsored establishment of the Fleet Marine Force. Having retired in 1937, Standley was recalled to active duty in 1941 to serve on the Board of the Office of Production Management. He also served on the Roberts Commission to investigate the attack on Pearl Harbor. He was Ambassador to the USSR in 1942-1943. {DANFS}
