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.

    Balao Class Submarine
    Keel Laid 16 March 1944 - Launched 25 February 1945

  1. USS CLAMAGORE SS-343
    Commissioned 28 June 1945
    Converted to a Guppy II submarine Dec. 1947 - July 1948
    Converted to a Guppy III submarine May 1962 - Feb. 1963
    Decommissioned 27 June 1975

    Struck from the Naval Register 27 June 1975
    Donated as Museum Ship at Patriot's Point, Charleston, SC 11 May 1981.
    On 10 January 2017 the Palm Beach County Commissioners voted unanimously to
        approve funds for the vessel to be sunk as an artificial reef.

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 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.

  1. USS Clamagore SS-343 Covers Page 1     (1944-1975)

 

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.
