<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3><br />
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during <br />
its lifetime.<br />
The list is in chronological order.<br />

<h3>Naval Covers</h3><br />
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the <br />
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie, <br />
for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should <br />
be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).<br />
<br />
Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't <br />
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date <br />
range for covers on that page.<br />
<ol><br />
<li>[[USS FRANCIS HAMMOND FF-1067_Covers_Page_1 | USS Francis Hammond DE-1067 Covers Page 1]]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1970-1987)</li><br />
<li><!-- [[USS FRANCIS HAMMOND FF-1067_Covers_Page_2 | -->USS Francis Hammond FF-1067 Covers Page 1 <!-- ]] -->&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(DATE RANGE)</li><br />
</ol><br />
<p>&nbsp;</p><br />
<br />
<h3>Postmarks</h3><br />
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a <br />
separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry <br />
in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks <br />
should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark <br />
has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest <br />
known usage.<br />
<br />
A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an <br />
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN <br />
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.<br />
<br/>&nbsp;<br/><br />
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the<br />
existing example.<br />

<h3>Other Information</h3><br />
USS FRANCIS HAMMOND earned the following awards during her Naval career - Combat Action Ribbon - Joint Meritorious Unit Award - Navy Unit Commendation - Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation - Navy Battle "E" Ribbon (4) - Navy Expeditionary Medal - National Defense Service Medal w/ 1 star - Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal - Vietnam Service Medal w/ 2 Campaign stars - Southwest Asia Service Medal w/ 2 stars - Humanitarian Service Ribbon - Sea Service Deployment Ribbon - Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal - Kuwait Liberation Medal (Saudi Arabia) - Kuwait Liberation Medal (Kuwait).<br/><br/><br />
'''NAMESAKE''' - Hospitalman Francis Colton Hammond, USN (November 9 1931 - March 27 1953).<br/>HM Hammond was killed in action on March 27 1953 while serving as a platoon corpsman with the First Marine Division at Sanae-dong, Korea when that unit was subjected to a murderous barrage of hostile mortar and artillery fire. After reaching an intermediate objective during a counterattack against a heavily entrenched and numerically superior hostile force occupying ground on a bitterly contested outpost far in advance of the main line of resistance. A vicious assault by on-rushing enemy troops followed. Resolutely advancing through a veritable curtain of fire to aid his stricken comrades, Hammond, although critically wounded, valiantly continued to administer aid to the wounded throughout an exhausting four hour period. When the unit was ordered to withdraw, he skillfully directed the evacuation of casualties and remained in the area to assist the relieving hospital corpsmen until he was struck by an enemy mortar shell and fell, fatally wounded. As a result of his exceptional courage he was posthumously presented the Medal of Honor. <br />

<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3><br />
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during <br />
its lifetime.<br />
The list is in chronological order.<br />
<table width="90%"><br />
<tr><br />
<td valign="top"><br />
<ol>Balao Class Submarine<br/><br />
Keel Laid September 4 1943 - Launched February 20 1944<br/><br/><br />
<li>'''USS ICEFISH SS-367'''<br/> <br />
Commissioned June 10 1944 - Decommissioned June 21 1946<br/><br />
Laid up in Pacific Reserve Fleet<br/><br />
Recommissioned June 5 1952 - Decommissioned July 29 1952<br/><br />
Recommissioned December 10 1952 - Decommissioned February 21 1953<br/><br/><br />
<li>'''WALRUS S-802''' (Dutch Naval Service)<br/><br />

</tr><br />
</table><br />
<p> </p><br />
<br />
<h3>Naval Covers</h3><br />
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the <br />
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each name of the ship (for <br />
example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same <br />
ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner). <br />
Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).<br />
<br />
Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't <br />
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date <br />
range for covers on that page.<br />
<ol><br />
<li>[[USS ICEFISH SS-367_Covers_Page_1 | USS Icefish SS-367 Covers Page 1 ]] &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1945)</li><br />
</ol><br />
<p>&nbsp;</p><br />
<br />
<h3>Postmarks</h3><br />
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a <br />
separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. Within each set, <br />
the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one <br />
postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of <br />
earliest known usage.<br />
<br />
A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an <br />
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN <br />
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.<br />
<br/>&nbsp;<br/><br />
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the<br />
existing example.<br />

<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3><br />
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during <br />
its lifetime.<br />
The list is in chronological order.<br />

<h3>Naval Covers</h3><br />
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the <br />
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie, <br />
for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should <br />
be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).<br />
<br />
Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't <br />
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date <br />
range for covers on that page.<br />
<ol><br />

</ol><br />
<p>&nbsp;</p><br />
<br />
<h3>Postmarks</h3><br />
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a <br />
separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry <br />
in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks <br />
should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark <br />
has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest <br />
known usage.<br />
<br />
A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an <br />
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN <br />
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.<br />
<br/>&nbsp;<br/><br />
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the<br />
existing example.<br />

<h3>Other Information</h3><br />
USS DUNCAN earned the Navy E Ribbon (5 awards) and the National Defense Service Medal during her Naval career.<br/><br/><br />
'''NAMESAKE''' Admiral Donald B. Duncan, USN (1 September 1896 – 8 September 1975).<br/>Duncan played an important role in aircraft-carrier operations during World War II.<br />
In 1941, he was the first commander of the [[LONG ISLAND CVE 1|USS LONG ISLAND CVE-1]] the Navy's first escort aircraft carrier. As the air operations officer to Admiral Ernest J. King, Duncan assisted with the planning for the Doolittle Raid, and was the one who proposed the use of both the B-25 Mitchell bombers and the [[HORNET CV 8|USS HORNET CV-8]] for the raid. He was then appointed to be the first commanding officer of the carrier [[ESSEX CVS 9|USS ESSEX CV-9]].<br />
Duncan held several important staff and operational positions following the war. He served as Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Air) from March 6 1947 to January 20 1948. He commanded the 2nd Task Fleet after 1948, and was the Vice Chief of Naval Operations from 1951 to 1956.<br/><br/><br />
The ships sponsor was Mrs. Donald B. Duncan, widow of the late Adm. Duncan.<br />

<br />
For detailed information on editing this page, click the "How To Edit Pages" link <br />
in the navigation bar and look for the article on "Editing Ship Pages". If you <br />
run into trouble or need to do something a little more complicated, contact the <br />
Curator for help.<br />
<br />
Don't forget to preview the page before saving it and please add a short description <br />
of the change in the Summary text box just above the Save / Show buttons at the bottom <br />

<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3><br />
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during <br />
its lifetime.<br />
The list is in chronological order.<br />
<table width="90%"><br />
<tr><br />
<td valign="top"><br />
<ol>Oliver Hazard Perry Class Guided Missile Frigate<br/><br />

<h3>Naval Covers</h3><br />
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the <br />
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie, <br />
for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should <br />
be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).<br />
<br />
Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't <br />
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date <br />
range for covers on that page.<br />
<ol><br />
<li>[[USS CLIFTON SPRAGUE FFG-16_Covers_Page_1 | USS Clifton Sprague FFG-16 Covers Page 1]]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1981-1995)</li><br />
</ol><br />
<p>&nbsp;</p><br />
<br />
<h3>Postmarks</h3><br />
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a <br />
separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry <br />
in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks <br />
should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark <br />
has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest <br />
known usage.<br />
<br />
A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an <br />
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN <br />
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.<br />
<br/>&nbsp;<br/><br />
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the<br />
existing example.<br />

<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3><br />
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during <br />
its lifetime.<br />
The list is in chronological order.<br />
<table width="90%"><br />
<tr><br />
<td valign="top"><br />

<h3>Naval Covers</h3><br />
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the <br />
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each name of the ship (for <br />
example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same <br />
ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner). <br />
Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).<br />
<br />
Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't <br />
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date <br />
range for covers on that page.<br />
<ol><br />
<li>[[USS CARTER HALL LSD-3_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1 ]] &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1951-68)</li><br />
</ol><br />
<p>&nbsp;</p><br />
<br />
<h3>Postmarks</h3><br />
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a <br />
separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. Within each set, <br />
the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one <br />
postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of <br />
earliest known usage.<br />
<br />
A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an <br />
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN <br />
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.<br />
<br/>&nbsp;<br/><br />
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the<br />
existing example.<br />

<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3><br />

The list is in chronological order.<br />

<h3>Naval Covers</h3><br />
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the <br />
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie, <br />
for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should <br />
be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).<br />
<br />
Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't <br />
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date <br />
range for covers on that page.<br />
<ol><br />

<li>[[ABRAHAM_LINCOLN_CVN_72_Covers_Page_3 | USS Abraham Lincoln CVN-72 Covers Page 3]]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2020-)</li><br />
</ol><br />
<p>&nbsp;</p><br />
<br />
<h3>Postmarks</h3><br />
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a <br />
separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry <br />
in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks <br />
should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark <br />
has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest <br />
known usage.<br />
<br />
A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an <br />
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN <br />
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.<br />
<br/>&nbsp;<br/><br />
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the<br />
existing example.<br />

Note: The difference between this 11-2 postmark and the 11-2 postmarks starting in 2003 are subtle but distinct.<br />
