<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3>
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime.
The list is in chronological order.
<ol>Cannon Class Type DET Destroyer Escort<br/>
Keel Laid November 30 1942 - Launched May 9 1943<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS ACREE DE-167'''<br/>
Commissioned July 19 1943 - Decommissioned April 1 1946<br/><br/>
Stricken 1 July 1972<br/>
Sold July 19 1973 to Boston Metals Co. Baltimore MD. for scrap</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>

<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 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.

</ol>
<p> </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 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.
<br/> <br/>
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.

'''NAMESAKE''' - Named in Honor of Lt. (jg) John White Acree USNR (April 23 1918 - October 26 1942)<br/>
Acree enlisted in The Naval Reserve on August 9 1940. Following training which included service in battleship [[NEW YORK BB 34|USS NEW YORK BB-34]], Acree was appointed Midshipman, USNR, on December 16 1940. Upon successfully completing the course at The Naval Reserve Midshipman's School, Northwestern University, Chicago, Il., he was commissioned Ensign on March 14 1941, and assigned to [[ENTERPRISE CV 6|USS ENTERPRISE CV-6]].<br/>
Acree was promoted to Lieutenant, junior grade June 15 1942. Exactly one month later, ENTERPRISE headed for the South Pacific and the first major Allied offensive operations of the war in the Pacific, the invasion of the Solomon Islands. Planes from the carrier supported the marines who landed on Guadalcanal and Tulagi and continued to help the leathernecks until Japanese dive bombers seriously damaged ENTERPRISE in the Battle of The Eastern Solomons on the afternoon of August 24. Rapid, skillful, and courageous damage control parties—one of which was led by Lt. (jg.) Acree, extinguished the fires, checked the flooding, and patched the ship sufficiently to enable her to make her way painfully back to Pearl Harbor for repairs. Back in full fighting trim by mid-October, the veteran carrier once more headed for the Southwestern Pacific. There, in the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands on October 26, she helped fight off a major Japanese effort to assist their troops on Guadalcanal. The cost of repelling this enemy thrust was great. Carrier [[HORNET CV 8|USS HORNET CV-8]] was sunk, and ENTERPRISE suffered three highly destructive bomb hits. Again, Acree led one of the damage control parties which saved his ship, but he perished in the effort.
