<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.
<ol>
<li> Covers Page 1     (DATE RANGE)</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 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.

'''NAMESAKE''' - Alvin Lee Marts USN (August 4 1923 - November 30 1942)<br/>
Marts enlisted in the Navy at Denver, Colo., July 2 1941. He served on [[YORKTOWN CV 5|USS YORKTOWN CV-5]] and survived her loss following the Battle of Midway. Transferred to [[NEW ORLEANS CA 32|USS NEW ORLEANS CA-32]], Marts served in the heavy cruiser as a Firemen, Second Class. During the protracted struggle for control of southern Solomon Islands, an American cruiser and destroyer force, including NEW ORLEANS, fought Japanese destroyers in Ironbottom Sound late November 30 1942. Early in the Battle of Tassafaronga, NEW ORLEANS took a torpedo hit in her port bow which exploded two magazines and blew off the forward part of the ship back to No. 2 turret. Assigned to the forward battle repair party, Marts was gravely injured by the blast and fires. However, in complete disregard for his own safety, he assisted in carrying an injured medical officer to the battle dressing station amidships where he collapsed from loss of blood and exhaustion. He died from his wounds shortly afterward. For extreme gallantry and self‑sacrificing devotion to a stricken comrade, Marts was awarded the Navy Cross posthumously
