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.
- USS LCI(L)-1008 Commissioned 19 June 1944 - Decommissioned 5 August 1946
- USS LSI(L)-1008 Reclassified as a Landing Ship Infantry, Large (LSI(L)) 28 February 1949
- USS SANDPIPER AMCU-38 Named SANDPIPER and reclassified as a Coastal Minesweeper, Underwater Locator (AMCU) 7 March 1952
- USS SANDPIPER MHC-38 Reclassified a Coastal Mine Hunter (MHC) 7 February 1955 while in reserve
LCI(L)-351 Class Landing Craft Infantry (Large)
Keel Laid 29 April 1944 - Launched 27 May 1944
Conversion began 15 April 1953 - Conversion completed 5 November 1953
Commissioned 7 October 1953 - Transferred to Atlantic Reserve Fleet in 1954
Struck from the Naval Register 1 January 1960
Transferred in October 1960 to the Miami Power Squadron, Miami, FL
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 LCI(L)-1008 Covers Page 1 (DATE RANGE)
- USS LSI(L)-1008 Covers Page 1 (DATE RANGE)
- USS Sandpiper AMCU-38 Covers Page 1 (DATE RANGE)
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.
