<h3>Naval Covers</h3> | |||
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 listed in chronological order. Use the postmark date or best guess. This applies to covers with add-on cachets as well.<br/><br/> | Covers should be listed in chronological order.
