<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>

<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''' - Beverly William Reid (22 April 1917 - August 24 1942)<br/>
Reid enlisted in the Navy on June 17 1935. After completing boot camp, Reid reported on board the aircraft carrier [[LEXINGTON CV 2 |USS LEXINGTON CV-2]] on November 28 1935, and remained in that ship for over two years. Reporting to the [[OtherUS Naval Air Station Pensacola Florida|Naval Air Station (NAS), Pensacola, Fla.]], on March 25 1938 for flight training as a naval aviation pilot (NAP), he received his wings on March 29 1939. After service with Torpedo Squadron (VT-3), in [[SARATOGA CV 3|USS SARATOGA CV-3]], Reid was transferred to [[OtherUS Ford Island Naval Air Station Pearl Harbor Hawaii|NAS, Pearl Harbor]] on August 12 1941. He was serving there when Japanese planes raided Oahu on [[Pearl Harbor Heroes|December 7 1941]]. Transferred to LEXINGTON and Fighting Squadron (VF-2) two days after Christmas of 1941, Aviation Machinist’s Mate 2d Class Reid sailed with that ship as she patroled southwest of Oahu between December 29 1941 and January 16 1942. Having been advanced to the rate of Aviation Machinist’s Mate 1st class by that point, he was transferred to [[ENTERPRISE CV 6|USS ENTERPRISE CV-6]] on March 28 1942, along with nine other NAPs, for temporary duty with VF-6, in time for the carrier's departure with TF 16. On April 18 1942, the day of the Halsey-Doolittle Raid, Reid flew with ENTERPRISE’s third combat air patrol (CAP) of the day when lookouts spotted two Japanese guardboats. He and the other seven pilots of the CAP then strafed the enemy vessels, sinking one and forcing the other, NAGATO MARU, to surrender. Having been warranted as a Machinist on April 23, Reid was designated a Naval Aviator on May 5. During the Battle of Midway, he flew three CAP missions on June 4, including one during which his section was vectored over to defend the crippled [[YORKTOWN CV 5|USS YORKTOWN CV-5]]. Awarded The Navy Cross for carrying out aggressive attacks on two Japanese torpedo planes on the 4th, he was credited with two confirmed “kills.” He also took part in strafing the Japanese destroyers ASASHIO and ARASHIO as they assisted the crippled heavy cruisers MOGAMI and MIKUMA on the 6th. Reid, commissioned an Ensign on July 23 1942, took part in the Battle of the Eastern Solomons on August 24 1942. He flew one of the 27 VF-6 planes scrambled for the CAP over TF 17, and, as one of two pilots listed as missing, was probably shot down by a “Zero” in the ensuing action. Ens. Reid, never seen again, was presumed killed in action.
