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.

    Balao Class Submarine
    Keel Laid May 25 1944 - Keel re-laid December 2 1944
    Launched July 28 1945

  1. USS CUSK SS-348
    Commissioned February 5 1946

  2. USS CUSK SSG-348
    Redesignated Missile Submarine (SSG) January 20 1948

  3. USS CUSK SS-348
    Reverted to Fleet Submarine (SS) July 1 1954

  4. USS CUSK AGSS-348
    Redesignated Auxiliary Research Submarine (AGSS) June 30 1969
    Decommissioned September 24 1969

    Struck from Naval Register September 24 1969
    Sold June 26 1972 to Zidell Exploration, Inc., Portland, OR for scrap


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 Cusk SS/SSG/SS/AGSS-348 Covers Page 1     (1944-1969)

 


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.
