<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>

Keel Laid June 3 1918 - Launched February 5 1919<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS BAILEY Destroyer No. 269''' <br/>Commissioned June 27 1919<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS BAILEY DD-269''' <br/>
Designated (DD) July 17 1920 - Decommissioned June 15 1922<br/>
Recommissioned September 30 1939 - Decommissioned November 26 1940<br/><br/>

<li>'''HMS READING G-71'''<br/>Transferred to Great Britain November 26 1940<br/><br/>

</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    (1939-40)</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.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
Transferred to Great Britain November 26 1940 a [[Famous Fifty|Famous Fifty Destroyer]]<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Rear Admiral Theodorus Bailey (April 12 1805 - February 10 1877)<br/>
Bailey entered the Navy as a Midshipman in January 1818. He was commended for energy, enterprise, and gallantry in the Mexican-American War. He made Captain in 1855. In July, 1862, he was made Commodore, and in July, 1866, Rear Admiral on the retired list. In 1861 Captain Bailey was in command of COLORADO, in the West Gulf Blockading Squadron. Later he took command of the East Gulf Blockading Squadron. He was instrumental in developing a primitive "thruster system," the principles of which are still in use today. A pipe could direct water to one side of the ship or another, which caused the ship to be able to move with more agility in the high seas. Today, ships use this principle in thruster systems. Rear Admiral Bailey died at Washington, D. C., February 10 1877
