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.

    Tennessee Class Armored Cruiser
    Keel Laid September 23 1903 - Launched March 18 1905

  1. USS WASHINGTON Armored Cruiser No. 11
    Commissioned August 7 1906 - Decommissioned July 9 1912
    Placed In Service as Receiving Ship July 20 1913
    Recommissioned April 23 1914 - Decommissioned March 31 1916

  2. USS SEATTLE Armored Cruiser No. 11
    Recommissioned and Renamed November 9 1916
    Decommissioned February 14 1921
    Designated (CA) July 17 1920, While in Reserve

  3. USS SEATTLE CA-11

    Struck from Naval Register July 19 1946

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. WASHINGTON Covers Page 1    (1908-15)
  2. SEATTLE Covers Page 1    (1917-41)

 

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.
