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.

    Indiana Class Battleship
    Keel Laid June 25 1891 - Launched June 10 1893

  1. USS MASSACHUSETTS Battleship No. 2
    Commissioned June 10 1896 - Decommissioned January 8 1906
    Recommissioned May 2 1910 - Decommissioned May 23 1914
    Recommissioned June 9 1917

  2. USS MASSACHUSETTS Coastal Battleship #2
    Reclassified March 29 1919
    Decommissioned March 31 1919

    Struck from Naval Register November 22 1920
    Sunk as target (By US Army) off Pensacola, Florida, January 1921

    Hulk given to the State of Florida 1956

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. USS Massachusetts BB-2 Covers Page 1     (1912-19)

 

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.
