JonBurdett: added ship names

added ship names

New page

<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>Crater Class Cargo Ship / Grumium Class Aviation Supply Issue Ship<br/>
Keel Laid July 30 1943 as Maritime Commission type (EC2-S-C1) hull<br/>
Launched August 20 1943<br/><br/>
<li>'''JAMES ROWAN'''<br/>
Acquired U.S. Navy October 3 1943<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS ALIOTH AK-109'''<br/>
Commissioned October 25 1943<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS ALIOTH IX-204'''<br/>
Redesignated Miscellaneous Unclassified (IX) December 31 1944<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS ALIOTH AVS-4'''<br/>
Redesignated Aviation Supply Issue Ship (AVS) May 3 1945<br/>
Decommissioned May 18 1946<br/><br/>
<li>'''JAMES ROWAN'''<br/>
Original name restored and Delivered to the Maritime Commission May 13 1947<br/><br/>
Struck from Naval Register May 22 1947<br/>
In merchant service until 1956<br/>
Fate unknown
</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>
<li> Covers Page 1     (DATE RANGE)</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
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.
