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.
- Sirus Class Cargo Ship
- USS VEGA AK-17
Commissioned December 21 1921 - Decommissioned January 15 1946
Struck from Naval Register March 12 1946
Transferred July 1 1946 to Maritime Commission for disposal
Sold August 6 1946 to National Metals and Steel Corp. for scrap
Keel Laid July 8 1918
Launched July 18 1919 as LEBANON
Delivered to United States Shipping Board September 8 1919
Acquired U.S. Navy December 2 1921 and renamed
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.
- Cover Page 1 (1931-44)
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.
