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.
-
Connecticut Class Battleship
- USS CONNECTICUT Battleship No. 18 Commissioned September 29 1906 - Decommissioned August 22 1915
- USS CONNECTICUT BB-18 Redesignated (BB) July 17 1920
Keel Laid March 10 1903 - Launched September 29 1904
Temporary service as US Receiving Ship at Philadelphia PA Navy Yard in 1916
Recommissioned October 3 1916
Decommissioned March 1 1923
Struck from Naval Register November 10 1923
Sold November 1 1923 and broken up 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.
- Covers Page 1 (1909-22)
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.
