Zellars was a lieutenant (junior grade) in the United States Navy who served on the [[MISSISSIPPI EAG 128|USS MISSISSIPPI BB-41]]. On June 12 1920, Thomas Zellars and 47 other crew members died in a firing accident. However before they were killed, Zellars apparently opened a flood valve that extinguished the fire, preventing further damage to the ship and likely saving the lives of his shipmates.

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.

    Allen M. Sumner Class Destroyer
    Keel Laid 24 December 1943 - Launched 19 July 1944

  1. USS ZELLARS DD-777
  2. Commissioned 25 October 1944 - Decommissioned 19 March 1971
    Struck from Naval Register 19 March 1971

  3. IIS BABR DDG-7 (Iranian Naval Service)
  4. Sold to Iran 19 March 1971 and renamed
    Commissioned 12 October 1973

  5. IIS BABR D-61 (Iranian Naval Service)
  6. Redesignated (Date unknown)
    Inactive 1994

 

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 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.

  1. USS Zellars DD-777 Covers Page 1    (1945-1968)

 

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.
