<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>Wickes Class Destroyer<br/>
Keel Laid December 15 1917 - Launched April 25 1918<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS KILTY Destroyer No. 137'''<br/>
Commissioned December 17 1918<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS KILTY DD-137'''<br/>
Designated (DD) July 17 1920<br/>
Decommissioned June 5 1922<br/>
Redesignated Miscellaneous Unclassified Light Target #3 IX-37 (unofficial)<br/>
Redesignated Miscellaneous Auxiliary AG-20 August 11 1931, While in reserve<br/>
Reverted to Destroyer (DD) April 16 1932, While in reserve<br/>
Recommissioned December 18 1939<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS KILTY APD-15'''<br/>
Converted to High-speed Transport (APD) March 1 1943<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS KILTY DD-137'''<br/>
Reverted to Destroyer (DD) July 20 1945<br/>
Decommissioned November 2 1945<br/><br/>
Stricken November 16 1945<br/>
Sold August 26 1946 and broken up for scrap
</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>[[USS KILTY DD-137_Covers_Page_1 |Kilty Covers Page 1]]    (1940)</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.
