<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3>
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during 
its lifetime.
The list is in chronological order.
<ol>Casablanca Class Escort Carrier<br/>
Keel Laid (Date unknown) as Aircraft Escort Vessel '''ANGUILLA BAY AVG-58'''<br/>
Reclassified Auxiliary Aircraft Carrier (ACV) 20 August 1942<br/>
Renamed and launched 12 May 1943<br/>
Reclassified Escort Carrier (CVE) 15 July 1943<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS CORREGIDOR CVE-58'''</li>
Commissioned 31 August 1943 - Decommissioned 30 July 1946<br/><br/>
<li>'''USNS CORREGIDOR T-CVE-58'''</li>
Assigned to Military Sea Transportation Service May 1951<br/>
Recommissioned 19 May 1951<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS CORREGIDOR CVU-58'''</li>

Decommissioned 4 September 1958<br/><br/>
Sold 28 April 1959 for scrap
</ol>
<p> </p>

<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>[[CORREGIDOR CVU-58_Covers_Page_1 | USS Corregidor CVE-58 / CVU-58 Covers Page 1]] &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1944-1952)</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.
