<h5>Conflicting History Data</h5>
There is some disagreement in the name the ship was given by South Vietnam as well as the hull number.<br/><br/>
The [https://www.history.uscg.mil/Browse-by-Topic/Assets/Water/All/Article/2538987/point-grey-1961-wpb-82324/ U.S. Coast Guard History] page for Point Grey says:<br/>
"Transferred to South Vietnam as Nuy Bo on 14 July 1970". (No hull number given)<br/><br/>
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USCGC_Point_Grey U.S. Wikipedia] says: "...recommissioned as RVNS Huỳnh Bộ (HQ-723)."<br/><br/>
[https://web.archive.org/web/20111002154115/http://www.harpoondatabases.com/encyclopedia/Entry2010.aspx Harpoon Databases] says: "Hnuyh Bo HQ-723"<br/>
[Note "Hnuyn" versus Wikipedia's "Huynh"]<br/><br/>
The blog post [https://chienhuuvnch.com/2018/01/page/2/ The Story of the Republic of Vietnam Navy Evacuation] by Dinh Manh Hung (Đinh Mạnh Hùng)<br/>
and dated January 26, 2018 says: "HQ 722  Huỳnh-Bộ"<br/><br/>
[https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%E1%BA%A3i_qu%C3%A2n_Vi%E1%BB%87t_Nam_C%E1%BB%99ng_h%C3%B2a Vietnamese Wikipedia] says: "HQ-722 Huỳnh Bộ"<br/><br/>
Based on the above, "Huỳnh Bộ" appears to be the correct name. As for the hull number, most Vietnamese sources used "HQ-722" so that is what I went with.

<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><!-- [[PAGE_NAME_Covers_Page_1 | --> Covers Page 1 <!-- ]] -->&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1968)</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.
