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.

    Kitty Hawk Class Aviation Transport
    Keel Laid 20 January 1932 as SS SEATRAIN HAVANA
    Launched 26 September 1932 - Acquired by US Navy 11 December 1941 and renamed

  1. USS HAMMONDSPORT APV-2
    Commissioned 11 December 1941

  2. USS HAMMONDSPORT AKV-2
    Redesignated Cargo Ship and Aircraft Ferry (AKV) 15 September 1943
    Decommissioned 7 March 1946

    Struck from Naval Register 7 March 1946
    Transferred to Maritime Commission for disposal

  3. SS SEATRAIN HAVANA
    Resold to Seatrain Lines 10 May 1946, reverted to original name
    Sold 13 March 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 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 Hammondsport AKV-2 Covers Page 1    (1943-1946)

 

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.
