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.
- Mississippi Class Battleship
- USS IDAHO BB-24
Commissioned April 1 1908 - Decommissioned July 30 1914
- RHN LIMNOS (Greek Naval Service)
Transferred to Greece July 30 1914
Limnos was decommissioned in 1932.
Her guns were removed and used by a coastal defense battery on the island of Aegina.
The hulk of Limnos was bombed in Salamis channel by Stuka dive bombers on April 23 1941
during the German invasion of Greece and sunk in shallow waters.
Her wreck was salvaged for scrap in the 1950s
Keel Laid May 12 1904 - Launched December 9 1905
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 Idaho BB-24 Covers Page 1 (1909-13)
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.
