<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.

<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''' - John Brewton USNR<br/>
Brewton enlisted in the Naval Reserve in 1966. He was accepted as an Officer Candidate, receiving his commission as an Ensign in the U.S. Navy in April of 1967. He had been an avid skin diver in college, and this interest led him to volunteer for UDT and later for SEAL Team training. In late 1969, following arduous training and a promotion, Lieutenant (junior grade) Brewton was serving as Platoon Officer of a SEAL team, in combat against Communist forces in South Vietnam. On November 24 1969, LT(jg) Brewton led his platoon in fierce action against a numerically superior force. Despite suffering painful arm and back wounds, he directed the disposition of his forces, and refused medical treatment for himself until all of his men had been tended. After receiving an additional wound, he continued to direct helicopter attacks against enemy positions from a forward vantage point. After the action, LT(jg) Brewton was evacuated to a Saigon field hospital for treatment. Despite a courageous fight for life, he succumbed to his wounds and infection on 11 January 1970. As a result of the action which led to his death, LT(jg) Brewton was posthumously promoted to Lieutenant and awarded the Silver Star for 'valiant leadership and courageous fighting spirit in the face of grave enemy opposition and serious personal injuries." He also earned the Bronze Star with one Gold Star and a Combat "V"; Purple Heart with one Gold Star; the Combat Action Ribbon; the Vietnam Service Medal. In addition, Lieutenant Brewton was awarded the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry and the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal
