<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.

<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     (1945)</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.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
USS GUSTAFSON earned the Combat Action Ribbon, the American Campaign Medal (w/ 1 battle star) and the WWII Victory Medal during her Naval career.<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Arthur Leonard Gustafson USN (June 13 1913 - February 19 1942)<br/>
Gustafson was a 1936 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy<br/>
Lt. Gustafson enlisted in the United States Navy on June 16 1932 at Annapolis. Appointed a Midshipman in June 1932, he was commissioned an Ensign in 1936 and served aboard the Battleships [[IDAHO BB 42|USS IDAHO BB-42]] and [[COLORADO BB 45|USS COLORADO BB-45]]. He was commissioned a Lieutenant in 1939. He reported to duty on the Destroyer [[PEARY DD 226|USS PEARY DD-226]] in September 1939 where he served as a Gunnery Officer. He was appointed Lieutenant for temporary service in January 1942. Lt. Gustafson earned the China Service Medal while serving in PEARY from 1939 to 1940. A hero, Lt. Gustafson died defending his ship and fellow servicemen when the Japanese attacked PEARY in Port Darwin, Australia February 19 1942. According to a newspaper report, Lt. Gustafson refused to leave his guns under fire and was one of the last six of PEARY's crew on board when the ship went down. The Navy posthumously awarded Lt. Gustafson the Purple Heart, which was accepted by his parents. Lt. Gustafson is listed as "Missing in Action or Buried at Sea." His name is recorded on the Tablets of the Missing at Manila American Cemetery, Manila, Philippines.
