He served in Destroyer [[LEARY DD 158\|USS LEARY DD-158]] from April until December, when he reported to Norfolk for duty in the 5th Naval District. On February 9 1942, he reported to the Armed Guard Center at New York City for duty in R. P. RESOR, a tanker owned by Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey. The tanker loaded a cargo of bulk crude oil at Houston, Texas and, while steaming for Fall River, Mass., she was torpedoed off Manasquan, N.J., by U-578 late February 26. The German torpedo exploded against the tanker’s portside. Explosions and raging fires engulfed R. P. RESOR from her bridge aft, and she burned out of control before sinking 2 days later. All but two of her merchant crew and armed guard, including Ensign Major, died in the attack		Major enlisted in the Naval Reserve August 1 1940.

<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.

<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 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.
<ol>

</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 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.
