"Battleship Number", with that number corresponding to the "BB" number formally assigned in July 1920, or which would have | |||
been assigned if the ship had still been on the Navy list." | |||

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.
- New Mexico Class Battleship
- USS MISSISSIPPI Battleship No. 41 Commissioned 18 December 1917
- USS MISSISSIPPI BB-41 Designated (BB) 17 July 1920
- USS MISSISSIPPI AG-128 Reclassified Miscellaneous Auxiliary (AG) 15 February 1946
- USS MISSISSIPPI EAG-128 Reclassified Experimental Miscellaneous Auxiliary (EAG) 1955
Keel Laid 5 April 1915 - Launched 25 January 1917
Decommissioned 17 September 1956
Struck from Naval Register 30 July 1956
Sold 28 November 1956 for scrap
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.
- USS Mississippi BB-41 Covers Page 1 (1918-1945)
- USS Mississippi AG-128 Covers Page 1 (1946-1953)
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.

Note: "Fake cancels exist from this ship in 1946. The T-3 dated Apr 10, 1946 with "ANCS/1935-1946" is definitely a fake. The T-3 with other 1946 dates may be fakes.
