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.

    Ordered as Destroyer Leader DL-15
    Reclassified Guided Missile Frigate (DLG) 14 November 1956
    Keel Laid 16 December 1957 - Launched 23 May 1959

  1. USS PREBLE DLG-15
    Commissioned 9 May 1960 - Decommissioned 31 January 1969
    Recommissioned 23 May 1970

  2. USS PREBLE DDG-46

    Decommissioned 15 November 1991

    Stricken 20 November 1992
    Sold 15 April 1994 for scrap
    Repossessed 1 October 1996
    Sold 20 March 2002 for scrap, completed 10 February 2003


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 Preble DLG-15 / DDG-46 Page 1    (1970-1991)

 

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.
