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.

    Mount McKinley Class Amphibious Force Command Ship
    Keel Laid (Date unknown) as "SS MONSOON"
    Launched October 26 1943
    Acquired by U.S. Navy February 1 1944
    Converted to Amphibious Force Flagship

  1. USS ELDORADO AGC-11
    Commissioned August 26 1944

  2. USS ELDORADO LCC-11
    Redesignated Amphibious Command Ship (LCC) January 1 1969
    Decommissioned November 8 1972

    Struck from Naval Register November 16 1972
    Laid up in National Defense Reserve Fleet

    Sold December 1 1976 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 Eldorado AGC/LCC-11 Covers Page 1    (1945-72)

 

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.
