<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3><br />
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime. <br />
The list is in chronological order.<br />
<table width="90%"><br />

<h3>Naval Covers</h3><br />
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the <br />
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie, <br />
for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should <br />
be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).<br />
<br />
Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't <br />
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date <br />
range for covers on that page.<br />
<ol><br />
<li>[[USS COLUMBUS CG-12_Covers_Page_1 |Columbus Covers Page 1 ]] &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1944-1975)</li><br />
</ol><br />
<p>&nbsp;</p><br />
<br />
<h3>Postmarks</h3><br />
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a <br />
separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry <br />
in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks <br />
should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark <br />
has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest <br />
known usage.<br />
<br />
A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an <br />
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN <br />
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.<br />
<br/>&nbsp;<br/><br />
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the<br />
existing example.<br />
