[Note on transliteration of Chinese glyphs to English (roman/latin) letters:
In the main section of Ship Name and Designation History, we provide the ship names in both a romanized alphabet and Chinese glyphs.
The primary name (ie, ZHONG 111) is given in separated Pinyin without diacritics. In the "(alt: xxx)" section, additional forms are provided:
(alt: 中111 / 中111 / ZHŌNG 111 / ZHONG 111 / CHUNG 111 / CHUNG 111)
(Traditional Chinese glyphs / Simplified Chinese glyphs / separated Pinyin with diacritics / concatenated Pinyin without diacritics / separated Wade-Giles / concatenated Wade-Giles)
Alas, you can find any of these versions (and others) used by sources - which makes text searches rather painful.]

 

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 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.

  1. Covers Page 1     (DATE RANGE)

 

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.
