<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 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>
<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''' - Joseph James "Jocko" Clark USN (November 12 1893 - July 13 1971)<br/>
Clark being of Cherokee heritage, was the first Native American to graduate from the United States Naval Academy, where he picked up the nickname "Jocko", in 1918. At the outset of World War II, Clark had command of an the Escort carrier, [[SUWANNEE CVHE 27|USS SUWANNEE CVE-27]] in the Atlantic until he was detailed to run the new Carrier [[YORKTOWN CVS 10|USS YORKTOWN CV-10]]. The YORKTOWN became flagship of Admiral Pownall during the 1943 carrier raids, and Clark and his operations officer Jimmy Flatley had opportunities to draw up fleet-wide attack plans. In 1944 he was promoted to Rear Admiral and given a task group of Task Force 58, which he commanded in the Marianas campaign, including the Battle of the Philippine Sea. His flagship was the [[HORNET CVS 12|USS HORNET CV-12]]. On the second day of the battle, with his planes returning after sundown, Clark ordered his ships to turn their landing lights on, allowing most planes to land safely<br/>
During the Korean War, Clark commanded the Fast Carrier Task Force (TF 77), and later, as Vice Admiral, the entire 7th Fleet. Clark retired on December 1 1953 with the rank of full Admiral. His awards included The Navy Cross, The Distinguished Service Medal, The Silver Star Medal, The Legion of Merit, The Navy Commendation Medal and The Korean Order of Military Merit. Admiral Clark died on July 13 1971 at St. Albans, New York. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery
