<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/>
Cleveland Class Light Cruiser<br/>
Keel Laid November 17 1941 as HUNTINGTON CL-77<br/>
Reordered as Aircraft Carrier March 27 1942 redesignated CV-25<br/>
Renamed March 31 1942<br/>
Launched January 17 1943<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS COWPENS CV-25'''<br/>
Commissioned May 28 1943<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS COWPENS CVL-25'''<br/>
Redesignated Light Aircraft Carrier (CVL) July 15 1943<br/>
Placed In Commission in Reserve December 3 1946<br/>
Decommissioned January 13 1947<br/>
Reclassified Aircraft Transport (AVT) May 15 1959, While in reserve<br/><br/>

Sold 1960 for scrap
</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>[[COWPENS CVL-25_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1]]    (1943-44,2008)</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.
