<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 (Little) Class Destroyer<br/>
Keel Laid June 18 1917 - Launched November 11 1917<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS LITTLE Destroyer No. 79'''<br/>
Commissioned April 6 1918<br/>
Placed into Reserve 1919<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS LITTLE DD-79'''<br/>
Designated (DD) July 17 1920<br/>
Reactivated January 4 1921<br/>
Decommissioned July 5 1922<br/>
Converted into High-speed transport (APD) August 2 1940<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS LITTLE APD-4'''<br/>
Recommissioned November 4 1940<br/>
SUNK (Japanese destroyers) September 5 1942 off Guadalcanal
</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 LITTLE APD-4_Covers_Page_1 | Little Covers Page 1]]    (1940-41)</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>
LITTLE received two battle stars for World War II service<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - George Little (April 10 1754 - July 22 1809)<br/>
Little was appointed First Lieutenant of the Massachusetts ship PROTECTOR in 1779, and was aboard in 1781, when she fought a running battle with the British ship THAMES. In a later engagement he was captured, imprisoned, but later escaped. He was given command of Massachusetts Ship WINTHROP, which captured two British Privateers, the Armed Brig MERIAM, and a number of other vessels. Commissioned Captain, USN on March 4 1799, Little was given command of the Frigate BOSTON. He culminated a brilliant fighting career during the quasi-war with France by capturing LE BERCEAU and seven other ships. Captain Little died at Weymouth, Massachusetts on July 22 1809
