<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><br/>Chester Class Scout Cruiser<br/>
Keel Laid September 25 1905 - Launched June 6 1907<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS CHESTER Scout Cruiser No. 1 (CS-1)'''<br/>
Commissioned April 25 1908 - Decommissioned December 15 1911<br/>
Recommissioned November 5 1913 - Decommissioned December 12 1914<br/>
Recommissioned April 4 1915 - Decommissioned May 10 1916<br/>
Recommissioned March 24 1917<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS CHESTER CL-1'''<br/>
Designated (CL) July 17 1920<br/>
Decommissioned June 10 1921<br/>
Renamed YORK July 16 1928, While in reserve<br/><br/>
Sold May 1930<br/>
Scrapped 1931
</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>[[USS CHESTER CL-1_Covers_Page_1 |Chester Covers Page 1 ]]     (1909)</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.
