	'''NAMESAKE''' - Admiral Harry Ervin Yarnell, USN (October 18 1875 - July 7 1959).<br/>Yarnell entered the U.S. Naval Academy in 1893 and ~~retired~~ in December 1944.		USS HARRY E. YARNELL earned the Joint Meritorious Unit Commendation Ribbon (2 awards), the Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation Ribbon, the Navy Battle "E" Ribbon, the Navy Expeditionary Medal, the National Defense Service Medal (2 awards), the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, the Humanitarian Service Medal and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon (9 awards) during her Naval career.<br/><br/>
			'''NAMESAKE''' - Admiral Harry Ervin Yarnell, USN (18 October 1875 - 7 July 1959).<br/>Harry Ervin Yarnell, -born near Independence, Iowa, 18 October 1875, began his naval career which spanned 51 year and 3 wars, when he entered the U.S. Naval Academy in 1893. After serving in USS Oregon during the Battle of Santiago, 3 July 1898, Yarnell was commissioned ensign 1 July 1899 and reported to the Asiatic Station. He served in the Philippines during the Aguinaldo Insurrection and on the China Station during the Boxer Rebellion. From Asia Yarnell reported to USS Connecticut at her commissioning and sailed around the world with the Great White Fleet. Next, duty at the Newport Torpedo Station, on CINOLANT's staff, and at the Naval War College occupied him until World War I, when he served at Gibraltar and London. Yarnell then rotated 'between sea and Shore duty until ordered to USS Saratoga September 1927, as prospective commanding officer. He served as captain of the carrier from her commissioning until 17 August 1928, when he was appointed Chief of the Bureau of Engineering as Rear Admiral.<br/>
			From January to April 1930 Admiral Yarnell was Naval Adviser to the American delegation at the London Naval Conference, and in October 1936 he became commander in Chief, Asiatic Fleet, with the rank of Admiral. His tour there was notable for the sagacious and firm manner with which he handled a most explosive international situation. After 3 years' service, Admiral Yarnell was transferred to the Retired List; but, 1 November 1941, as war loomed in the East he was recalled to the office of the Secretary of the Navy as Special Adviser to the Chinese Military Mission. Admiral Yarnell was relieved of active duty 15 January 1943 but returned in June as Head of a Special Section in the Office of Chief of Naval Operations until December 1944, when he again was relieved of active duty.<br/>Admiral Yarnell died 7 July 1959 at Newport, R.I., his home since his retirement. Among the awards and medals earned in his long and distinguished career were the Navy Cross, the Distinguished Service Medal, the Diploma and Decoration of the Companion of the Order of the British Empire, and the Cloud Standard, Second Class, of the Government of China.<br/><br/>
			The ships sponsor was Mrs. Philip Yarnell, wife of the late Admiral Yarnell's son.

<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.
