<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.
<table width="90%">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<ol>Buckley Class Type TE Destroyer Escort<br/>
Keel Laid May 12 1943 - Launched September 11 1943<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS JENKS DE-665'''<br/>

Planed conversion to High-speed Transport (APD) cancelled<br/>
Decommissioned June 26 1946<br/><br/>

<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.

Jenks enlisted in the Navy October 8 1940. After undergoing Reserve Officer training, he was appointed Ensign June 6 1941 and reported to Cruiser [[ATLANTA CL 51|USS ATLANTA CL-51]], soon to be commissioned. In June 1942, Jenks served in ATLANTA, during the epochal Battle of Midway and later during the landings on Guadalcanal, first American amphibious operation of the war. In the great Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, November 13 1942, in which the Japanese move on the island was frustrated, ATLANTA was torpedoed in the early stages of the action and damaged severely by enemy gunfire. She survived the night, but was scuttled next day off Lunga Point. Lieutenant (j.g.) Jenks was killed in the battle, for which his gallant ship received the Presidential Unit Citation
