<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 incarnation of the ship (ie, 
for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). 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.

<li>[[USS OSMOND INGRAM APD-35_Covers_Page_1 | Osmond Ingram Covers Page 1  ]] &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1940-42)</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 incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry 
in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). 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>
OSMOND INGRAM earned the Presidential Unit Citation and 6 Battle Stars for her World War II service<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Named in Honor of Gunner’s Mate First Class Osmond Kelly Ingram USN (1887–1917) a sailor in the United States Navy during World War I. His ship [[CASSIN DD 43|USS CASSIN DD-43]], was attacked by the German submarine U-61 off Ireland on October 16 1917. Ingram spotted the approaching torpedo, realized it would strike close by explosives, and rushed to jettison the ammunition. He was blown overboard when the torpedo struck, thus becoming the first enlisted man killed in action in World War I. He was posthumously awarded the '''Medal of Honor''' for his actions on that day.
