			'''NAMESAKE''' - John D. Henley (February 25 1781 - May 23 1835)<br/>
			Brother of Captain Robert Henley. Commissioned midshipman August 14 1799, Henley served in CHESAPEAKE cruising in the West Indies until 1801. Departing Baltimore in the schooner VIXEN August 3 1803, he joined the Mediterranean Squadron for the AVar with Tripoli. An officer in Gunboat No. 6 under Lieutenant John Trippe, Henley participated in the attack on Tripoli August 3 1804. Gunboat No. 6 ran alongside one of the enemy's large boats and nine men and two officers, Trippe and Henley, stormed the TRIPOLITAN before the gunboat fell away from the enemy. Although outnumbered three to one, the Americans fought so fiercely that within a few minutes the enemy struck their colors. Fourteen of the enemy had been killed and 22 were taken prisoner. Both Trippe and Henley were highly commended for their bravery in this action. Following completion of his tour in the Mediterranean in 1805, Henley made a merchant voyage to distant ports and then in September 1807, assumed command of Gunboat No. 20. Henley then served a tour in Washington and with the outbreak of war against the British was ordered to Charleston in June 1813 to command schooner CAROLINA. His ship was destroyed December 27 1814 off New Orleans during a fierce struggle in which the few small warships played a decisive role in delaying the powerful British attack and bringing victory. For his part in the victory at New Orleans January 8 1815 Henley was highly commended by General Andrew Jackson. Promoted to Captain March 5 1817, Henley commanded JOHN ADAMS in the West Indies and CONGRESS in the Indian Ocean before taking command of MACEDONIAN in the struggle against West Indian pirates in 1822. Captain Henley served as commandant of the Charleston and Baltimore stations and the Portsmouth Navy Yard, New Hampshire, 1826 to 1832. On August 16 1832 he was given command of the West India Squadron with VANDALIA as his flagship. Captain Henley died on board VANDALIA in Havana, Cuba, May 23 1835

added ship page and 1 cover

New page

<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>
<li>USS JOHN D. HENLEY DD-553 (Commissioned 02/02/1944 - Decommissioned 04/30/1946)</li>
</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>[[PAGE_NAME_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1]]    (01-23-1946)</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.
