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.

    Essex (Short Hull) Class Carrier
    Keel Laid August 3 1942 as KEARSARGE
    Renamed January 24 1943
    Launched August 30 1943

  1. USS HORNET CV-12
    Commissioned November 29 1943 - Decommissioned January 15 1947
    Recommissioned March 20 1951

  2. USS HORNET CVA-12
    Redesignated Attack Carrier (CVA) October 1 1952

  3. USS HORNET CVS-12
    Converted to Anti-submarine Warfare Support Carrier (CVS) June 27 1958

    Struck from Naval Vessel Register July 25 1989
    Dedicated as a Museum Ship May 26 1998, located at Pier 3, Alameda Point, Alameda, CA

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. USS Hornet CV/CVA/CVS-12 Covers Page 1    (1944-69)

 

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.
