<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>Barnegat Class Small Seaplane Tender<br/>
Keel Laid October 27 1939 - Launched May 23 1941<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS BISCAYNE AVP-11'''<br/>
Commissioned July 3 1941<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS BISCAYNE AGC-18'''<br/>
Redesignated Amphibious Command Ship (AGC) October 10 1944<br/>
Decommissioned June 29 1946<br/>
Custody transferred to U.S. Coast Guard July 10 1946<br/><br/>
<li>'''USCGC DEXTER WAGC-18'''<br/>
Commissioned September 20 1946<br/><br/>
<li>'''USCGC DEXTER WAVP-385'''<br/>
Reverted to Small Seaplane Tender (AVP) (Date unknown)<br/>
Decommissioned December 17 1952<br/>
Recommissioned June 30 1958<br/><br/>
<li>'''USCGC DEXTER WHEC-385'''<br/>
Redesignated High Endurance Cutter (WHEC) May 1 1966<br/>
Decommissioned January 18 1968<br/>
Returned to U.S. Naval custody July 9 1968<br/><br/>
Sunk 1968 as target
</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>[[Biscayne_AGC_18_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1]]    (1940-46)</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.
