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.

    Pensacola Class Light Cruiser
    Keel Laid 27 October 1926 - Launched 25 April 1929

  1. USS PENSACOLA CL-24
    2. Commissioned 6 February 1930

  2. USS PENSACOLA CA-24
    3. Redesignated Heavy Cruiser (CA) 1 July 1931
    Designated as test ship for "Operation Crossroads" at Bikini Atoll
    Survived atomic aerial burst 1 July 1946
    Survived atomic subsurface burst 25 July 1946
    Decommissioned 26 August 1946

    Sunk as target 10 November 1948

 

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 Pensacola CL-24 / CA-24 Covers Page 1    (1930-1946)

 

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.
