Report on the March 2005 USCS Postmark Request Mailer

by Paul Bunter, USCS 11072

Last updated Feb 25, 2006.

The results of the Postmark Request Mailer are displayed in the following three tables. The first table shows the overall results on the current mailer. The second table shows an alphabetical listing of the U.S. Navy ships that were sent a postmark request mailer. If postmarks were received, the ship's name is an active link to a page containing scans of the received postmarks and their classification. A third table, located at the bottom of this page, shows the list of postmarks by postmark type.

All postmark classifications for a given ship are unofficial guesses until they have been officially classified by the USCS Postmark Classification Committee. When that happens, the "Classified" column will have a "Y". Otherwise it will have a dash "-".

Note: as most of these ships are not expected to have a post office, all requests were mailed to the Public Affairs Officer.

Recent Updates:

NORFOLK   SSN-714

"Successful" means that the response envelope was returned either with a postmark or with some notation indicating that the ship has no postmarks (reported no postmarks). Alternatively, an Email was received from the ship with postmark information.

"Failed" means that the request envelope was returned undelivered / unopened.

"Mixed" means that the response envelope was returned with no information on whether or not the ship has a postmark. Sometimes the response envelope will have something in it such as the ship's cachet or embossed seal. Sometimes it is completely empty.
