<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.

<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.

'''NAMESAKES''' - U.S.S. INGERSOLL (DD-652) was named for two naval men<br/><br/>
Royal Rodney Ingersoll was born in Niles, Michigan December 4 1847, and graduated from the Naval Academy in 1868. He served in various ships of the fleet on the European and Asiatic Squadrons until 1876 when he was assigned to the Naval Academy. Ingersoll taught and wrote about Ordnance subjects during several tours at the Academy and in the early years of the 20th century commanded such ships as the Bennington, New Orleans, and Maryland. He was Chief of Staff of the Atlantic Fleet during the first part of its famous cruise around the world, and a member of the General Board in 1908. Rear Admiral Ingersoll retired in 1909, but was called back to duty during World War I as President of the Naval Ordnance Board. In 1919 he returned to his home in Laporte, Indiana, where he was active in public affairs until his death April 21 1931<br/><br/>
Royal Rodney Ingersoll, II, the grandson of Admiral Ingersoll, was born at Manila, P.I., December 17 1913. After graduating from the Naval Academy in 1934, he served on [[CALIFORNIA BB 44|USS CALIFORNIA BB-44]], [[CASSIN DD 372|USS CASSIN DD-372]] and other ships during the thirties, and reported on board carrier [[HORNET CV 8|USS HORNET CV-8]] during her fitting out period in 1941. Lieutenant Ingersoll served on USS HORNET CV-8 during the critical early months of the Pacific war. In the great battle of Midway 4 to 6 June 1942, in which the U.S. fleet decisively turned back the Japanese threat to the Hawaiian Islands, he was killed at his battle station.
