<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.

<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>
'''NAMESAKE''' - James Edward Jouett USN (February 7 1826 - September 30 1902)<br/>
Jouett was appointed Midshipman September 10 1841. He served on the African coast in DECATUR with Mathew C. Perry and in JOHN ADAMS during the Mexican War. At the beginning of the Civil War, Jouett was captured by Confederates at Pensacola but was soon paroled. He then joined the blockading forces off Galveston, distinguishing himself during the night of November 7-8 1861 in the capture and destruction of Confederate Schooner ROYAL YACHT. Jouett later commanded MONTGOMERY and R. R. CUYLER on blockading duty and in September 1863 took command of METACOMET. In the Battle of Mobile Bay, August 5 1864, his ship was lashed to Admiral Farragut's flagship HARTFORD as the gallant ships entered the bay. Monitor TECUMSEH was sunk by an underwater "torpedo", but the ships steamed boldly on, inspired By Farragut's famous command: "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead." METACOMET was sent after two Confederate gunboats, and in a short chase Jouett riddled GAINES and captured SELMA. Jouett had various commands ashore and afloat after the Civil War, taking command of the North Atlantic Squadron in 1884. In 1889 he commanded a naval force which forced the opening of the isthmus of Panama, threatened by insurrection. Rear Admiral Jouett retired in 1890 and lived for most of his remaining years at "The Anchorage," near Sandy Springs, Md. He died September 30 1902
