	'''NAMESAKE''' - ~~Midshipman~~ James R. Caldwell, U.S. Navy, ~~(1778~~-1804)		'''NAMESAKE''' - Lieutenant James R. Caldwell, USN, (1 November 1778 - 7 August 1804)<br/>Caldwell was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 1 November 1778. He was appointed a Midshipman in the U.S. Navy in May 1798 and promoted to the rank of Lieutenant at the beginning of November 1800. During the undeclared war with France he served in the frigate USS United States, schooner USS Experiment and armed ship USS Ganges. From late 1801 into 1803 Lieutenant Caldwell was an officer of the frigate USF Constellation during the initial phase of the war with Tripoli. In mid-1803 he returned to the Mediterranean in the brig USS Siren to participate in further operations against that piratical North African state. Caldwell distinguished himself in a boat action on 7 July 1804 and also took part in an attack on 3 August that resulted in the capture of three vessels that were taken into the Navy as gunboats. One of these, Gunboat Number 9, was under Caldwell's command when the U.S. squadron again bombarded Tripoli on 7 August 1804. While hotly engaged with an enemy battery, a hot shot penetrated her magazine and Gunboat Number 9 blew up. Lieutenant Caldwell and eleven others were killed or mortally wounded in the explosion.<br/><br/>
			The ships sponsor was Miss A. Caldwell.<br/><br/>
			Two ships of the US Navy have been named in his honor - [[CALDWELL_DD_69_ \| USS Caldwell DD-69]] and USS Caldwell DD-605.

<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.
<table width="90%">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<ol>Benson Class Destroyer<br/>
Keel Laid March 24 1941 - Launched January 15 1942<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS CALDWELL DD-605'''<br/>
Commissioned June 10 1942 - Decommissioned April 16 1946<br/><br/>

</ol></td>
<td align="center" width="220" valign="top">

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<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 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>
<li>[[USS CALDWELL DD-605_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1 ]]     (1942)</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 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.
