<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>
Clemson Class Destroyer<br/>
Keel Laid November 25 1918 - Launched May 31 1919<br/> 
<li>'''USS DALLAS DD-199'''<br/>
Commissioned October 29 1920 - Decommissioned June 26 1922<br/>
Recommissioned April 14 1925 - Decommissioned March 25 1939<br/>
Recommissioned September 25 1939<br/> 
<li>'''USS ALEXANDER DALLAS DD-199'''<br/>

Decommissioned July 28 1945<br/><br/>
Stricken August 13 1945 <br/>

</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>
<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.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
Earned 4 Battle Stars (WWII)<br/><br/>
Earned Presidential Unit Citation<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Alexander J. Dallas (May 15 1791 - June 3 1844)<br/>
Dallas entered the Navy as a midshipman November 22 1805. He served with distinction in the War of 1812, the operations against Algiers in 1815, and in the suppression of piracy in the West Indies. He established and commanded the Pensacola Navy Yard from 1832 to 1843. On 16 July 1835 he was ordered to additional duty in command of the West India Squadron and supported General Scott during the war with the Seminole Indians in Florida, rendering such efficient service that the Government gratefully named a fort for him on the eastern coast of Florida. Commanding the Pacific Squadron, Captain Dallas died at Callao, Peru, 3 June 1844 in the sloop VANDALIA.
