	A graduate of Yale University in 1775, Bushnell managed to explode gunpowder underwater which is thought to have suggested to him the idea of a submarine mine or torpedo. In 1775 he completed a man-propelled, wooden submarine boat, on the outside of which was attached a powder magazine with clock mechanism enclosed for igniting it. Bushnell's vessel was unsuccessful in her attempts to blow up British vessels in 1776-77. Bushnell commanded the Corps of Engineers at West Point in 1783; later became the head of a private school in Georgia		A graduate of Yale University in 1775, Bushnell managed to explode gunpowder underwater which is thought to have suggested to him the idea of a submarine mine or torpedo.

<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>Fulton Class Submarine Tender<br/>
Keel Laid December 23 1941 - Launched September 14 1942<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS BUSHNELL AS-15'''<br/>
Commissioned April 10 1943 - Decommissioned April 30 1948<br/>
Recommissioned February 21 1952 - Decommissioned June 30 1970<br/><br/>
<li>'''BUSHNELL AS-15'''<br/>
Placed In Service - Out of Service July 1975<br/><br/>
Struck from Naval Register November 15 1980<br/>
Sunk June 1 1983 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>[[BUSHNELL_AS_15_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1]]    (1943-68)</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.

'''NAMESAKE''' - David Bushnell (c1742 - 1824)<br/>
A graduate of Yale University in 1775, Bushnell managed to explode gunpowder underwater which is thought to have suggested to him the idea of a submarine mine or torpedo. In 1775 he completed a man-propelled, wooden submarine boat, on the outside of which was attached a powder magazine with clock mechanism enclosed for igniting it. Bushnell's vessel was unsuccessful in her attempts to blow up British vessels in 1776-77. Bushnell commanded the Corps of Engineers at West Point in 1783; later became the head of a private school in Georgia
