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.
Burton Island Class Icebreaker Authorized as Miscellaneous Auxiliary AG-90 Keel Laid 20 July 1942 Launched 8 March 1943 as CGC-98 Redesignated Patrol Gunboat (WPG) Used for Soviet merchant service Returned to US Navy 28 December 1949 Struck from Naval Register 1 November 1966 Returned to US Coast Guard 31 October 1966 Decommissioned 31 May 1974 Sold for scrap 10 March 1976 |

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.
- USS Atka AGB-3 Covers Page 1 (1955-1966)
- USCGC Southwind WAGB-280 Covers Page 1 (1968)
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.
