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 October 15 1943 Launched December 19 1943 as Destroyer Escort DE-670 Redesignated High-speed Transport (APD) June 27 1944 Laid up in Atlantic Reserve Fleet, Florida Group Moved (Date unknown) to Atlantic Reserve Fleet, Texas Group Struck from Naval Register November 1 1966 Retired from the Chilean Navy 1984 and scrapped |
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 (1946)
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.

NAMESAKE - Joseph Roy Odum USN (February 9 1913 - October 15 1942)
Odum enlisted in the Navy June 20 1934 and served continuously until killed in action, in the Solomons, October 15 1942. A gunner on USS MEREDITH DD-434, he remained at his battle station, after the order to abandon ship had been given, so he could protect shipmates in the water from being strafed by Japanese planes. He was still firing when the ship went under. For his action, Fireman First Class Odum was posthumously awarded the Silver Star
