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.


    Farragut Class Destroyer
    Keel Laid May 15 1933 - Launched August 22 1934

  1. USS MacDONOUGH DD 351
    Commissioned March 15 1935 - Decommissioned October 22 1945

    Struck from Naval Register November 1 1945
    Sold December 20 1946 for scrap

Naval Covers

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.

  1. USS MacDonough DD-351 Covers Page 1    (1935-41)

 

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

MacDONOUGH was at Pearl Harbor December 7 1941

NAMESAKE - Named in Honor of Thomas MacDonough (1783-1825) an early 19th century American Naval Officer, most notably as Commander of American naval forces in Lake Champlain during The War of 1812. MacDonough's actions during the decisive Battle of Lake Champlain are often cited as a model of tactical preparation and execution.

A Liberty Ship - SS Thomas MacDonough - was also named in his honor.
