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.
- Lapwing Class Minesweeper
- USS CURLEW Minesweeper No. 8
Commissioned 7 January 1919
- USS CURLEW AM-8
Designated (AM) 17 July 1920
Decommissioned 16 November 1920
Recommissioned 29 December 1920 - Decommissioned 7 February 1921
Recommissioned 29 October 1921
Served as Submarine Tender October 1921 - February 1923
Grounded 15 December 1925 on rocks and broken up at Point Mosquito, Panama
Decommissioned 28 February 1926
Keel Laid 1 April 1918 - Launched 29 August 1918
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.
- USS Curlew AM-8 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 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.
