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.

    Admirable Class Minesweeper
    Keel Laid September 9 1943 - Launched November 21 1943

  1. USS INCREDIBLE AM-249
    Commissioned April 17 1944 - Decommissioned November 6 1946

  2. INCREDIBLE AM-249
    Placed In Service November 28 1947 - Out of Service September 28 1949

  3. USS INCREDIBLE AM-249
    Recommissioned August 14 1950 - Decommissioned September 21 1954
    Laid up in Pacific Reserve Fleet, Long Beach Group
    Reclassified Fleet Minesweeper (Steel Hull) (MSF) February 7 1955, While in reserve

    Struck from Naval Register December 1 1959
    Sold August 8 1960 to National Metal and Steel Corp. of Terminal Island for scrap

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. 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.
