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.

    Cohoes Class Net Laying Ship
    Projected as Yard Net Tender YN-97
    Redesignated Net Laying Ship (AN) January 20 1944
    Keel Laid June 14 1944 - Launched November 29 1944

  1. USS COHOES AN-78
    Commissioned March 23 1945 - Decommissioned September 3 1947
    Laid up in Pacific Reserve Fleet
    Redesignated Net Laying Ship (ANL) January 1 1969, While in reserve

  2. USS COHOES ANL-78
    Recommissioned July 1969 - Decommissioned June 30 1972

    Struck from Naval Register June 30 1972
    Sold February 1 1973 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.
