<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.

<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 name of the ship (for
example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same
ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner).
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 name and/or commissioning period. 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>
BRADLEY earned the Navy Battle E Ribbon, the Navy Expeditionary Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal (w/ 6 Campaign stars), the Navy Sea Service Deployment Ribbon and the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal during her Naval career.<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Willis Winter Bradley, Jr. USN (June 28 1884 - August 27 1954)<br/>
Bradley was appointed to the Naval Academy in 1903. He graduated on September 12 1906 and went to sea in [[VIRGINIA BB 13|USS VIRGINIA BB-13]]. After two years at sea as a Passed Midshipman, he received his commission as an Ensign on September 13 1908. Successively, Bradley served in [[CULGOA AF 3|USS CULGOA AF-3]] from the fall of 1908 to October 1910, helped to fit out and commission [[PERKINS DD 26|USS PERKINS DD-26]], and served in her until March of 1911. From then until September of 1912, he saw duty, first in the Transport [[HANCOCK IX 12|USS HANCOCK AP-3]] and then in [[SOUTH CAROLINA BB 26|USS SOUTH CAROLINA BB-26]]. Next, he commanded BIDDLE (Torpedo Boat No. 26) and the Reserve Torpedo Group at Annapolis, Md Beginning in September 1913, Bradley studied ordnance and explosives at the Naval Postgraduate School in Annapolis, Md., and then at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He continued his studies at the Naval Proving Ground in Indian Head, Md., at the Bausch & Lomb, and at the Midvale Steel Co. in Pittsburgh, Pa. In July 1915, Bradley returned to sea in command of STEWART (Destroyer No. 13). That December, he was transferred to command of HULL (Destroyer No. 7) and of the Reserve Torpedo Division, Pacific Fleet. After service in [[SAN DIEGO ACR 6|USS SAN DIEGO ACR-6]] between September 1916 and February 1917, Bradley became Gunnery Officer in [[PITTSBURGH CA 4|USS PITTSBURGH CA-4]]. In that capacity, he earned The Medal of Honor on July 23 1917 during a powder explosion in one of the ship's casemates. Though temporarily stunned, he entered the compartment, saved a man's life, and then reentered the casemate to extinguish burning gunpowder. Bradley moved ashore again in January 1918 to head the Explosives, Fuses, and Primers Section of the Bureau of Ordnance. From there, he went to the Naval Torpedo Station in Keyport, Wash., in August 1919 to serve as a naval inspector. Returning to sea in June 1920, Bradley served as Gunnery Officer in [[TEXAS BB 35|USS TEXAS BB-35]] until May 1921. At that time, he reported to the Mare Island Navy Yard to assist in fitting out and commissioning [[CALIFORNIA BB 44|USS CALIFORNIA BB-44]]. After the battleship went into commission on August 10, he served as her Gunnery Officer.
Bradley returned to Keyport in May 1922 for two years of duty at the Naval Torpedo Station as the Naval Inspector in Charge. From July 1924 to November 1926, he commanded [[GOLD STAR AG 12|USS GOLD STAR AK-12]], the Station Ship at Guam in the Mariana Islands. Between late 1926 and the middle of 1929, Bradley served in the Naval Reserve Section in the Bureau of Navigation. Following that tour of duty, he became governor of Guam in June 1929. Bradley resumed sea duty in July 1931 in command of [[BRIDGE AF 1|USS BRIDGE AF-1]]. Two years later, he became Captain of the Yard at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard. After six months, however, he was transferred to command of [[PORTLAND CA 33|USS PORTLAND CA-33]]. That assignment lasted until June 1937 at which time he was reassigned to the Naval War College as a student. After a year of duty with the Pacific coast section of the Board of Inspection and Survey beginning in May 1938, Capt. Bradley commanded Destroyer Squadron (DesRon) 31, Battle Force, based in San Diego for a year. At the conclusion of that assignment, he resumed duty with the Board of Inspection and Survey on the west coast. He continued in that billet through the end of World War II and until his retirement on August 1 1946. Between 1947 and 1949, Bradley represented California’s 18th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. He died at Santa Barbara, Calif., on August 27 1954.
