<h3>Naval Covers</h3>
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the 
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each name of the ship (for 
example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same 
ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner). 
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.
<ol>
<li> [[USS O-10 SS-71_Covers_Page_1 | USS O-10 SS-71 Covers Page 1  ]] &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1924-28)</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Postmarks</h3>
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a 
separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. 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.
<br/>&nbsp;<br/>
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.

"When eight of the submarines of the O class were decommissioned at the Philadelphia Navy Yard in 1931, the mail clerk of Submarine Division Fourteen, Battle Fleet produced commemorative covers for the events. The name of each submarine was given in the killer bars of the cancel. This does not imply that the division post office was aboard each boat; it was located at the yard along with the staff of the division." 1995 USCS Postmark Catalog.  From the Paul Huber collection.
