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.


    Keel Laid (Date unknown) as Passenger Ship SS SAINT JOHN
    Launched January 9 1932
    Delivered to Eastern Steamship Lines April 22 1932
    Acquired by U.S. Navy April 24 1941
    Converted to Submarine Tender (AS)

  1. USS ANTAEUS AS-21
    Commissioned May 17 1941

  2. USS ANTAEUS AG-67
    Redesignated Miscellaneous Auxiliary (AG) September 15 1943

  3. USS RESCUE AH-18
    Converted to Hospital Ship (AH) and renamed January 18 1945
    Decommissioned April 29 1946

    Struck from Naval Register August 15 1946
    Transferred to Maritime Commission for disposal June 29 1946

    Scrapped 1959

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. ANTAEUS AS-21 Covers Page 1     (1941-42)
  2. ANTAEUS AG-67 Covers Page 1     (1943)
  3. RESCUE AH-18 Covers Page 1     (1945-46)

 

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.
