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.
- USS OKLAHOMA Battleship No. 37 Commissioned 2 May 1916
- USS OKLAHOMA BB 37 Designated (BB) 17 July 1920
Nevada Class Battleship
Keel Laid 26 October 1912 - Launched 23 March 1914
SUNK by Aerial Torpedoes 7 December 1941 at Pearl Harbor Hawaii
429 of her crew were lost with the ship and remain on duty
Hulk raised 1943
Decommissioned 1 September 1944
Struck from Naval Register 1 September 1944
Hulk sank while under tow to breakers 17 May 1947
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.
- USS Oklahoma BB-37 Covers Page 1 (1917-1936)
- USS Oklahoma BB-37 Covers Page 2 (1937-1944)
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.
