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.
Acquired by U.S. Navy April 16 1898 |
 |
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.

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.

Other Information
USS Hannibal earned the Spanish Campaign Medal, the World War I Victory Medal (with Escort Clasp), the American Defense Service Medal, the American Campaign Medal and the World War II Victory Medal during her Naval career.
NAMESAKE - Hannibal (249 B.C. - 183 B.C.)
Hannibal was brought up by his father in undying hatred of Rome. During the Second Punic War, he led an army from the Carthaginian colony in Spain across the Alps into Italy, defeating every army sent to oppose him. Hannibal maintained himself in the Italian peninsula for 15 years without support from home ; but when Carthage was threatened with invasion in 203 B.C., he returned to Africa. He was defeated in the Battle of Zama 202 B.C., and soon was driven into exile. He died as the result of suicidal poisoning.
