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.

    Guardian Class Radar Picket Ship
    Keel Laid March 20 1945
    Launched May 8 1945 as JAMES SQUIRES
    Delivered May 31 1945 to Waterman Steamship Co.
    Returned to Maritime Commission October 5 1945
    Laid up in National Defense Reserve Fleet, James River Group
    Acquired by U.S. Navy 1954

  1. USS GUARDIAN YAGR-1
    Commissioned Ocean Station Radar Ship (YAGR) February 1 1955

  2. USS GUARDIAN AGR-1
    Redesignated Radar Picket Ship (AGR) September 28 1958
    Decommissioned July 28 1965

    Struck from Naval Register September 1 1965
    Laid up in National Defense Reserve Fleet

    Scrapped September 1971

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 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.

  1. Guardian Covers Page 1     (1956-59)

 

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.
