	~~Note:~~		"The Ajax was at Vladivostok during the Allied Intervention Russia from March 19 to March 23, 1919. The Ajax did not have a post office so the post office of another ship at Vladivostok was used. I believe the Type 1z cancel is the [[BROOKLYN_CA_3_ \| USS Brooklyn]] which was at Vladivostok from 23 Dec 1918 to 2 Apr 1919 and used a Type 1z. The view is American soldiers and tents at Vladivostok." Notes and scan courtesy of the Darrell Kinzler collection.

its lifetime.

<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>
<li>[[Ajax_AG_15_Covers_Page_1 | Ajax Covers Page 1]]    (1938)</li>
</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
