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.

    Cleveland Class Cruiser
    Keel Laid March 6 1943 - Launched August 27 1944

  1. USS LITTLE ROCK CL-92
    Commissioned June 17 1945 - Decommissioned June 24 1949
    Reclassified Guided Missile Cruiser (CLG) May 23 1957

  2. USS LITTLE ROCK CLG-4
    Recommissioned June 3 1960

  3. USS LITTLE ROCK CG-4
    Redesignated Guided Missile Cruiser (CG) July 1 1975
    Decommissioned November 22 1976

    Struck from Naval Register November 22 1976
    Transfered June 1 1977 to the Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park
    Now a Museum ship

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. Little Rock Covers Page 1    (1946-76)

 

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.
