Survey of U.S. Navy Postmarks

Since September 2004
By Paul Bunter, USCS 11072

Last updated Jul 17, 2010.

The results of the current Postmark Survey are displayed in the following tables.

  1. Status of the current survey.
  2. U.S. Navy ships known to have a post office. If postmarks were received from any survey, the ship's name is an active link to a page containing scans of the received postmarks and their classification. The 'Last Response' column gives the most recent year in which a survey response was received from the given ship.
  3. U.S. Navy submarines. These ships are only surveyed once every four or five years.
  4. Other U.S. Navy surface ships and auxiliaries. These ships are only surveyed once every four or five years.
  5. Decommissioned ships.
  6. Postmarks by postmark type.

All postmark classifications for a given ship are unofficial until they have been formally classified by the USCS Postmark Committee.
