Covers should be listed in chronological order. Use the postmark date or best guess.<br />
<br/>&nbsp;<br/><br />
Each entry provides a link to the image of the front of the cover. There is also <br />
the option to have a link to the image of the back of the cover if there is anything <br />
of significance there. Finally, there is the primary date for the cover and the <br />
classification types for all postmarks based on the [[Locy_System | Locy System]].<br />

<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3><br />
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime. <br />
The list is in chronological order.<br />
<ol>Barnegat Class Small Seaplane Tender<br/><br />
Keel Laid 27 October 1939 - Launched 23 May 1941<br/><br/><br />
<li>'''USS BISCAYNE AVP-11'''<br/><br />

</ol><br />
<p>&nbsp;</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 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>[[Biscayne_AGC_18_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1]]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1940-46)</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 />
<ol>Navajo Class Fleet Tug<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 BANNOCK ATF-81_Covers_Page_1 |Covers Page 1]] &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1944-46)</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 its lifetime. <br />
The list is in chronological order.<br />
<ol><br/><br />
Auk Class Minesweeper<br/><br />
Keel Laid 15 April 1941 - Launched 26 August 1941<br/><br/><br />
<li>'''USS AUK AM-57'''<br/><br />
Commissioned 15 January 1942 - Decommissioned 15 July 1946<br/><br />
Reclassified Fleet Minesweeper (Steel-hulled) (MSF) 7 March 1955, While in reserve<br/><br/><br />
Struck from Navy Register 1 August 1956<br/><br />
Fate unknown<br />
</ol><br />
<p>&nbsp;</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 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 AUK AM-57_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1]]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1941-44)</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 its lifetime. <br />
The list is in chronological order.<br />

</ol><br />
<p>&nbsp;</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 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>[[CORAL SEA CVE-57_Covers_Page_1 | CORAL SEA Covers Page 1]]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1943)</li><br />
<li>[[ANZIO_CVE_57_Covers_Page_1 | ANZIO Covers Page 1]]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1945-46)</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 />
'''CORAL SEA'''<br/><br/><br />
'''NAMESAKE''' - Part of the South Pacific Ocean. It is located between Queensland, Australia, on the west and Vanuatu and New Caledonia on the east, and bordered on the north by Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Occupying an area of 1,849,800 sq mi, it merges with the Tasman Sea and Solomon Sea and is connected to the Arafura Sea via the Torres Strait. It was named for its many coral formations, including the Great Barrier Reef. During World War II it was the scene of a strategic U.S. naval and air victory over the Japanese (1942)<br/.><br/><br />
'''ANZIO'''<br/><br/><br />
ANZIO earned 6 Battle Stars (WWII)<br/><br/><br />
'''NAMESAKE''' - Seaport and resort town southeast of Rome, Italy. It was founded, according to legend, by Anteias, son of Odysseus and Circe. It was a stronghold of the Volsci in the 5th century BC. Conquered by Rome in 338 BC, Antium (as it was then known) became a resort for wealthy Romans. Nero and Caligula were born there. Destroyed by the Saracens in the 9th – 10th centuries, it remained virtually deserted until 1698, when Pope Innocent XII built a new port nearby. In 1944 it was the scene of a bloody but successful amphibious landing by Allied forces during World War II.<br />

its lifetime.<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 />

</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 />

Covers should be listed in chronological order. Use the postmark date or best guess.<br />
<br/>&nbsp;<br/><br />
<br/>&nbsp;<br/><br />
Each entry provides a link to the image of the front of the cover. There is also <br />
the option to have a link to the image of the back of the cover if there is anything <br />
of significance there. Finally, there is the primary date for the cover and the <br />

<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3><br />
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime. <br />
The list is in chronological order.<br />
<ol>Bagaduce Class Fleet Tug<br/> <br />
Keel Laid (Date unknown) - Launched 25 June 1919<br/><br/> <br />
<li>'''USS KEWAYDIN Fleet Tug No. 24'''<br/><br />
Commissioned 4 November 1919<br/><br/> <br />
<li>'''USS KEWAYDIN AT-24'''<br/><br />
Designated Fleet Tug (AT) 17 July 1920<br/><br/> <br />
<li>'''USS KEWAYDIN ATO-24'''<br/><br />
Reclassified Fleet Tug Old (ATO) 14 May 1944<br/><br />
Decommissioned 10 December 1945<br/><br/> <br />
Struck from Naval Register (Date unknown)<br/><br />
Sold December 1946 to Pacific Cities Co.<br />
</ol><br />
<p>&nbsp;</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 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 KEWAYDIN ATO-24_Covers_Page_1 | USS Kewaydin ATO / AT-24 Covers Page 1]]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1935-41)</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 />
<ol>Buckley Class Destroyer Escort<br/><br />
Keel Laid 10 November 1943 as DE-671<br/><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 JACK C. ROBINSON APD-72_Covers_Page_1 | USS Jack C. Robinson APD-72 Covers Page 1 ]] &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1945-46)</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>Other Information</h3><br />
USS JACK C. ROBINSON earned the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal w/ 1 Battle star, the World War II Victory Medal, the Navy Occupation Service Medal (with Asia clasp) and the Philippines Liberation Medal during her Naval career.<br/><br/><br />
'''NAMESAKE''' - PFC Jack C. Robinson, USMC (22 September 1922 - 25 October 1942)<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
Robinson enlisted in the US Marine Corps 12 December 1941. After basic training, he was assigned to a unit scheduled to take part in the Guadalcanal campaign, America's first amphibious operation of the war. During the bitter fighting 23 October 1942 in the Matanikau River area, Pfc. Robinson risked his life to repair damaged communications lines vital to the survival of his unit, earning the Silver Star for his gallantry. Robinson was wounded in the action, however, and died 25 October 1942.<br/><br/><br />
The ships sponsor was Mrs. Clem F. Robinson, mother of Pfc. Robinson.<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 />

<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 />

Covers should be listed in chronological order. Use the postmark date or best guess.<br />
<br />
Each entry provides a link to the image of the front of the cover. There is also <br />
the option to have a link to the image of the back of the cover if there is anything <br />
of significance there. Finally, there is the primary date for the cover and the <br />
classification types for all postmarks based on the [[Locy_System | Locy System]].<br />

<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3><br />
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime. <br />
The list is in chronological order.<br />
<ol>Clemson Class Destroyer<br/><br />
Keel Laid 31 July 1918 - Launched 28 July 1919<br/><br/><br />
<li>'''USS HUMPHREYS DD-236'''<br />
<br/>Commissioned 21 July 1920 - Decommissioned 10 January 1930<br/> <br />
Recommissioned 13 June 1932 - Decommissioned 14 September 1938<br/> <br />
Recommissioned 26 September 1939<br/><br/><br />
<li>'''USS HUMPHREYS APD-12'''<br/><br />
Reclassified High-speed Transport (APD) 1 December 1942<br/><br/><br />
<li>'''USS HUMPHREYS DD-236'''<br/><br />
Reverted to Destroyer (DD) 20 July 1945<br/><br />
Decommissioned 26 October 1945<br/><br/><br />
Struck from Naval Register 13 November 1945<br/><br />
Sold 26 August 1946 and broken up for scrap<br />
</ol><br />
<p>&nbsp;</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 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 HUMPHREYS DD-236_Covers_Page_1 | USS Humphreys Covers Page 1]]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1928-41)</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 />

Each entry provides a link to the image of the front of the cover. There is also <br />
the option to have a link to the image of the back of the cover if there is anything <br />
of significance there. Finally, there is the primary date for the cover and the <br />
classification types for all postmarks based on the [[Locy_System | Locy System]].<br />
