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.

    La Salle Class Transport
    Launched April 29 1942 - Acquired U.S. Navy March 18 1943

  1. USS HOTSPUR AP-102
    Commissioned March 31 1943

  2. USS LA SALLE AP-102
    Renamed April 6 1943 - Decommissioned July 24 1946

    Transferred to the Maritime Commission July 25 1946 for lay up in the National Defense Reserve Fleet
    Struck from the Naval Register (Date unknown)
    Sold by the Maritime Commission for commercial service 1948

  3. S.S. STONEWALL JACKSON (Merchant Service)
    Wrecked and scrapped 1968

 

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. 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.
