			<h5>Conflicting History Data</h5>
			[https://www.navsource.org/archives/09/46/46144.htm NavSource] and
			[https://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/ship-histories/danfs/c/clyde-ii.html Naval History and Heritage Command]
			both show the builder as "Palmers Shipbuilding and Iron Works, Newcastle, England".<br/>
			NavSource further states that the original name was SWIVEL.<br/><br/>
			However, the [https://shipscribe.com/usnaux/IX2/IX132.html Shipscribe] page on ex-Italian tankers says
			the ship was "built as WAR PUNDIT".<br/><br/>
			<i>Lloyd's Registry of Shipping 1920</i> has no entry for SWIVEL but does have an entry for WAR PUNDIT.
			It lists the builder as "Sir J. Laing & Sons, Ld. Sunderland, England".<br/>
			Later editions of Lloyd's follow the naming history: WAR PUNDIT --> SCOTTISH BARD --> BACICIN PADRE --> SWIVEL<br/>
			I did not find an entry in Lloyd's for MANZANARES but that name was only used briefly and during the early years of WWII.<br/><br/>
			The best history I found was the [http://sunderlandships.com/view.php?ref=102397 Sunderlandship.com] page for WAR PUNDIT
			which lists the naming history as:<br/>
			"1920 SCOTTISH BARD - 1930 BACICIN PADRE - 1941 MANZANARES - 1942 SWIVEL - 1944 ST. MARY - 1944 CLYDE - 1946 SWIVEL"<br/>

<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>Clyde Class Mobile Station Tanker<br/>
Built 1918<br/><br/>
<li>'''SWIVEL'''<br/>
Acquired March 23 1944<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS ST. MARY IX-144'''<br/>

Renamed June 10 1944<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS CLYDE IX-144'''<br/>
Decommissioned April 9 1945<br/><br/>
<li>'''CLYDE IX-144'''<br/>
Placed In Service April 9 1945 - Out of Service (Date unknown)<br/><br/>

Struck from Naval Register May 5 1946<br/><br/>
Fate unknown
</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> Covers Page 1     (DATE RANGE)</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.
