<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 September 18 1917 - Launched April 29 1918<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS LEA Destroyer No. 118'''<br/>
Commissioned October 2 1918<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS LEA DD-118'''<br/>
Designated (DD) July 17 1920<br/>
Decommissioned June 22 1922<br/>
Recommissioned May 1 1930 - Decommissioned April 7 1937<br/>
Recommissioned September 30 1939 - Decommissioned July 20 1945<br/><br/>
Stricken August 13 1945<br/>
Sold November 30 1945 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 LEA DD-118_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1]]    (1931-41)</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.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
LEA received three battle stars for World War II service<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Edward Lea (January 31 1837 - January 1 1863)<br/>
Lea graduated from the Naval Academy in October 1855. Serving on the China Station at the outbreak of the Civil War, he continued to serve in the Navy although his father became an officer in the Confederate Army. The two met only once more, in one of the war’s most poignant incidents, when Lea, then Executive Officer in HARRIET LANE, was mortally wounded during the Confederate recapture of Galveston January 1 1863. His father, serving ashore in Galveston, was with his son at his death.
