Ship Name and Designation History
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime. The list is in chronological order.
Keel Laid January 17 1896 - Launched December 5 1896 Delivered June 27 1897 Recommissioned May 17 1909 - Decommissioned June 29 1914 Recommissioned May 1914 - Decommissioned June 1914 Recommissioned April 13 1917 - Decommissioned October 16 1919 Transferred October 20 1919 to the Washington State Militia Nautical School Struck from Naval Register May 2 1921 Transferred to U.S. Coast Guard Recommissioned 1 June 1922 Decommissioned June 7 1930 Assigned permanently to Coast Guard Depot Curtis Bay, MD as Station ship 14 January 1931 Decommissioned December 30 1944 Returned to U.S. Navy March 12 1945 Sold March 28 1946 for scrap |
Conflicting History Data
The number of commissioning/decommissioning events listed in NavSource is confusing as there are over a dozen and sometimes there isn't a decommissioning event associated with a given commissioning.
Wikipedia doesn't seem to go into as much detail and thus doesn't get bogged down by it.
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.
- Covers Page 1 (1911)
Postmarks
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.
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.
