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.

    Fletcher Class Destroyer
    Keel Laid May 7 1942 - Launched October 13 1942

  1. USS RENSHAW DD-499
    Commissioned December 5 1942 - Decommissioned February 1947
    Recommissioned June 2 1950

  2. USS RENSHAW DDE-499
    Reclassified Escort Destroyer (DDE) March 26 1949

  3. USS RENSHAW DD-499
    Reverted to Destroyer (DD) June 30 1962
    Decommissioned February 14 1970

    Struck from Naval Register February 14 1970
    Sold October 1970 and broken up 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 name of the ship (for example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner). 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. Covers Page 1     (1942-69)

 

Postmarks

This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. 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.

Other Information

RENSHAW earned 8 battle stars for her World War II service, 5 battle stars for her Korean Conflict service, and 6 battle stars for her Vietnam service.

NAMESAKE - William B. Renshaw (October 11 1816 - January 1 1863)
Renshaw was appointed Midshipman in November 1831. Appointed Commander April 26 1861, he was attached to Admiral Farragut's squadron during the Civil War and was commended for the "handsome manner in which he managed his vessel", WESTFIELD, during Mortar Flotilla operations on the Mississippi in 1862. At Galveston at the end of the year, he refused to surrender his ship on January 1 1863 and died after setting fire to her to keep her out of Confederate hands.

Three ships of the US Navy have been named RENSHAW - USS Renshaw (Schooner 1862), USS Renshaw DD-176 and USS Renshaw DD-499
The first Renshaw honored both Richard T. and William B. Renshaw; the second and third were named for William B.
