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.

    Saipan Class Light Aircraft Carrier
    Keel Laid 21 August 1944 - Launched 1 September 1945

  1. USS WRIGHT CVL-49
    Commissioned 9 February 1947 - Decommissioned 15 March 1956

  2. USS WRIGHT AVT-7
    Reclassified Auxiliary Aircraft Transport (AVT) 15 May 1959 while in reserve

  3. USS WRIGHT CC-2
    Recommissioned as Command Ship (CC) 11 May 1963
    Decommissioned 27 May 1970

    Struck from Naval Register 1 December 1977
    Sold 1 August 1980 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 Wright CVL-49 / CC-2 Covers Page 1    (1950-1969)

 

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.
