	EBERLE ~~received~~ three battle stars ~~for World War II~~ service<br/><br/>		USS EBERLE earned the American Defense Medal, the American Campaign Medal, the Europe-Africa-Middle East Campaign Medal w/ three battle stars and the WWII Victory Medal during her Naval service.<br/><br/>

	Eberle graduated from the the U.S. Naval Academy in 1885. Over the next decade he served in several ships and shore stations, demonstrating a talent for naval ordnance and gunnery. In 1896, after two years' duty at the U.S. Naval Academy, Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Eberle was assigned to the new Battleship [[OREGON IX 22\|USS OREGON BB-3]] and rendered distinguished service as one of her turret officers during the Battle of Santiago in July 1898. Lieutenant Eberle next served as the Asiatic Squadron's Flag Lieutenant, the first of a number of assignments that kept him close to the Navy's senior officers. In the early years of the New Century, he continued his ordnance studies and was one of the Navy's influential figures in this field. He was in charge of the Atlantic Torpedo Flotilla in 1911-13, during which time he received promotion to the rank of Captain. After more sea and shore service, he became Superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy, holding that position through the First World War. Rear Admiral Eberle commanded Atlantic Fleet battleship divisions in 1919-21, then, with the rank of Admiral, became Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet. In 1923, Admiral Eberle was selected as the Navy's third Chief of Naval Operations. His four years in this position war marked by struggles to maintain the Navy's strength in the face of arms limitation treaties, financial stringency and political attacks on naval aviation. He was successful in obtaining funds to modernize battleships, begin construction of a force of heavy cruisers, and complete the aircraft carriers [[LEXINGTON CV 2\|USS LEXINGTON CV-2]] and [[SARATOGA CV 3\|USS SARATOGA CV-3]]. Admiral Eberle was relieved as Chief of Naval Operations in November 1927 and served on the General Board until his retirement in August 1928. He died on July 6 1929		Eberle graduated from the the U.S. Naval Academy in 1885.

<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>
Gleaves Class Destroyer<br/>
Keel Laid April 12 1939 - Launched September 14 1940<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS EBERLE DD-430'''<br/>
Commissioned December 4 1940 - Decommissioned June 3 1946<br/>
Recommissioned May 19 1950 - Decommissioned January 22 1951<br/><br/>
Stricken from Navy Register January 24 1951<br/><br/>
<li>'''NIKI D-65''' (Greek Naval Service)<br/>
Sold to Greece January 22 1951 and renamed<br/><br/>
Stricken and scrapped 1972

</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>[[USS EBERLE DD-430_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1]]    (1940-41)</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.

EBERLE received three battle stars for World War II service<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Edward Walter Eberle (August 17 1864 - July 6 1929)<br/>
Eberle graduated from the the U.S. Naval Academy in 1885. Over the next decade he served in several ships and shore stations, demonstrating a talent for naval ordnance and gunnery. In 1896, after two years' duty at the U.S. Naval Academy, Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Eberle was assigned to the new Battleship [[OREGON IX 22|USS OREGON BB-3]] and rendered distinguished service as one of her turret officers during the Battle of Santiago in July 1898. Lieutenant Eberle next served as the Asiatic Squadron's Flag Lieutenant, the first of a number of assignments that kept him close to the Navy's senior officers. In the early years of the New Century, he continued his ordnance studies and was one of the Navy's influential figures in this field. He was in charge of the Atlantic Torpedo Flotilla in 1911-13, during which time he received promotion to the rank of Captain. After more sea and shore service, he became Superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy, holding that position through the First World War. Rear Admiral Eberle commanded Atlantic Fleet battleship divisions in 1919-21, then, with the rank of Admiral, became Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet. In 1923, Admiral Eberle was selected as the Navy's third Chief of Naval Operations. His four years in this position war marked by struggles to maintain the Navy's strength in the face of arms limitation treaties, financial stringency and political attacks on naval aviation. He was successful in obtaining funds to modernize battleships, begin construction of a force of heavy cruisers, and complete the aircraft carriers [[LEXINGTON CV 2|USS LEXINGTON CV-2]] and [[SARATOGA CV 3|USS SARATOGA CV-3]]. Admiral Eberle was relieved as Chief of Naval Operations in November 1927 and served on the General Board until his retirement in August 1928. He died on July 6 1929
