	Ballard was Warranted a Midshipman on February 24 1809 and while still holding that rank, served as Fourth Lieutenant in CHESAPEAKE on June 1 1813 when that American frigate challenged the British man of war HMS SHANNON outside Boston harbor. Most of CHESAPEAKE's crew had been recently recruited, and most of her officers were newly assigned to the ship. As a result of this inexperience and of the crew's lack of training as a team, the Americans were quickly bested in the ensuing battle. During the engagement, a cannon shot took off Ballard's right leg close to his body, and he died shortly afterwards.

<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><br/>
Clemson Class Destroyer<br/>
Keel Laid June 3 1918 - Launched December 7 1918<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS BALLARD Destroyer No. 267'''<br/>
Commissioned June 5 1919<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS BALLARD DD-267'''<br/>
Redesignated (DD) July 17 1920<br/>
Decommissioned June 17 1922<br/>
Recommissioned June 25 1940<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS BALLARD AVD-10'''<br/>
Redesignated High-speed Transport (AVD) August 2 1940<br/>
Decommissioned December 5 1945<br/><br/>

Sold May 23 1946 and broken up for scrap
</ol>

<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.
