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.


    Gleaves Class Destroyer
    Keel Laid 3 November 1941 - Launched 3 May 1942

  1. USS MERVINE DD-489
    Commissioned 17 June 1942

  2. USS MERVINE DMS-31
    Converted to High-speed Minesweeper (DMS) 30 May 1945
    Decommissioned 27 May 1949

  3. USS MERVINE DD-489
    Reverted to Destroyer (DD) 15 July 1955, while in reserve

    Struck from Naval Register 31 July 1968
    Sold 27 October 1969 and broken up 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 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 Mervine DMS-31 Covers Page 1     (1942-1946)

 

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.
