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.

    Haven Class Hospital Ship
    Keel Laid 20 August 1943 as SS MARINE DOLPHIN
    Launched 25 July 1944 - Acquired by US Navy 14 August 1944

  1. USS TRANQUILITY AH-14
    Commissioned 24 April 1945

  2. USS TRANQUILITY APH-114
    Reclassified Evacuation Transport (APH) 3 November 1945

  3. USS TRANQUILITY AH-14
    Reverted to Hospital Ship (AH) 25 March 1946
    Decommissioned 16 July 1946

    Struck from Naval Register 1 September 1961
    Transferred 6 March 1961 to National Defense Reserve Fleet, James River Group
    Sold 15 July 1974 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 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 Tranquility AH-14 Covers Page 1     (DATE RANGE)

 

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.
