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.

    Wickes (Lamberton) Class Destroyer
    Keel Laid December 21 1917 - Launched June 8 1918

  1. USS RAMSAY Destroyer No. 124
    Commissioned February 15 1919

  2. USS RAMSAY DD-124
    Designated (DD) July 17 1920
    Decommissioned June 30 1922
    Recommissioned June 2 1930

  3. USS RAMSAY DM-16
    Reclassified Light Minelayer (DM) June 13 1930
    Decommissioned December 14 1937
    Recommissioned September 25 1939

  4. USS RAMSAY AG-98

    Decommissioned October 19 1945

    Struck from Naval Register November 13 1945
    Sold November 21 1946 for scrap

Naval Covers

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.

  1. Ramsay Covers Page 1    (1932-42)

 

Postmarks

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.
 
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the existing example.
