<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>William Ward Burrows Class Transport<br/> 
Keel Laid May 1929 as SANTA RITA<br/>
Acquired by U.S. Navy February 6 1940 and converted for Naval Service<br/>
Renamed February 9 1940<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS WILLIAM WARD BURROWS AP-6'''<br/>
Placed in Reduced Commission February 9 - May 15 1940<br/>
Commissioned (Full) May 15 1940 - Decommissioned May 16 1946<br/><br/> 
Struck from Naval Register August 15 1946<br/>
Sold 1957 for scrap
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</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 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.
<ol>
<li>[[USS WILLIAM WARD BURROWS AP-6_Covers_Page_1 | William Ward Burrows Covers Page 1]]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1940-45)</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.
