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.

    Essex Class Aircraft Carrier
    Keel Laid 1 May 1944 - Launched 13 October 1945

  1. USS ORISKANY CV-34
    Commissioned 25 September 1950

  2. USS ORISKANY CVA-34
    Redesignated Attack Carrier (CVA) 1 October 1952
    Decommissioned 2 January 1957
    Recommissioned 7 March 1959

  3. USS ORISKANY CV-34
    Reverted to Carrier (CV) 1 July 1975
    Decommissioned 30 September 1976

    Struck from Naval Register 25 July 1989
    Sold 26 January 1993 for scrap
    Sunk 17 May 2006 as artificial reef off Pensacola, FL

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 Oriskany CV-34 / CVA-34 Covers Page 1    (1945-1974, 2006)

 

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.
