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.
Built by Gutehoffnungshütte AG, Walsum, Germany Lloyd's Register of Shipping 1939 shows the owner as "Abelardo Rodriguez" (aka General Abelardo Rodriguez, governor of Sonora) Purchased by U.S. Navy November 3 1942 from General Rodriguez Converted for Naval service November 7 1942 Assigned to Service Squadron, South Pacific Force, supplying fresh and frozen food to outlying island bases Used as non-self propelled barracks vessel in Apra Harbor, Guam 1945-1946 Placed Out of Service June 15 1946 Struck from Naval Register July 19 1946 Scrapped in the Philippines 1987 |
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.
- YAG-23 Covers Page 1 (1943)
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.
