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.

    Iwo Jima Class Amphibious Assault Ship (Helicopter)
    Keel Laid 8 April 1968 - Launched 24 May 1969

  1. USS INCHON LPH-12
    Commissioned 20 June 1970

  2. USS INCHON MCS-12
    Redesignated Countermeasures Support Ship (MCS) 6 March 1995
    Converted between March 1995 and 28 May 1996
    Assigned to Active Naval Reserve Force 30 September 1996
    Decommissioned 20 June 2002

    Sunk 5 December 2004 east of Virginia Beach, VA

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 Inchon LPH / MCS-12 Covers Page 1     (1970-95)

 


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.
