<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.

<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 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.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
LAMONS earned 9 Battle Stars (WWII)<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Named in Honor of Boatswain's Mate Kenneth Tage Lamons USN (October 12 1909 - December 7 1941)<br/>
Lamons enlisted in the Navy February 29 1928, and rose to the rank of Boatswain’s Mate Second Class. He served continuously until his death from wounds received in the Japanese attack on [[Pearl Harbor Heroes|Pearl Harbor December 7 1941]] while serving in [[NEVADA BB 36|USS NEVADA BB-36]]. Lamons was commended by The Secretary of the Navy “For distinguished devotion to duty and extraordinary courage and disregard of his own safety... when, as gun captain of a 5-inch antiaircraft gun on battleship NEVADA BB-36, he maintained an effective fire with his gun, in local control, despite heavy casualties on his gun, bomb hits, exploding ammunition on deck, and serious fires, until killed at his station.”<br/><br/>
