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.
Keel Laid 8 April 1944 at California Shipbuilding Corp., Los Angeles, CA Launched 6 June 1944 Returned to MARAD 27 May 1946 Chartered by Moore McCormack Lines, Inc., 27 May 1946 Returned to MARAD 3 October 1947 Chartered by Moore McCormack Lines, Inc., 27 May 1946 Returned to the Maritime Administration, 3 October 1947, for lay up in the National Defense Reserve Fleet, James River Group, Lee Hall, VA Withdrawn from reserve and chartered by the US Army Transportation Service, 2 April 1948 Decommissioned by the US Army Transportation Service 8 August 1950 Placed out of service 15 December 1974 Struck from the Naval Register 15 December 1974 Custody transferred to MARAD 2 January 1975 Sold for scrapping 17 July 1975 |
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each name of the ship (for example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner). 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 name and/or commissioning period. 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.
