<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>Evarts Class Type GMT Destroyer Escort<br/>
Keel Laid April 1 1942 for Great Britain<br/>
Launched July 24 1942<br/><br/>
<li>'''BDE-47'''<br/>
Retained by U.S. Navy and renamed March 4 1943<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS DECKER DE-47'''<br/>
Commissioned May 3 1943 - Decommissioned August 28 1945<br/><br/>
Stricken March 12 1948<br/><br/>
<li>'''ROCS TAI PING DE-47''' (Chinese Naval Service)<br/>
Leased to China August 28 1945 and renamed<br/>
Permanently transferred February 7 1948<br/>
Escaped with Nationalist forces to Taiwan 1949<br/>
Torpedoed by Communist PT boats off Tachen Island November 14 1954
</ol></td>
<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 name of the ship (for
example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same
ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner).
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 name and/or commissioning period. 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.
