<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 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>
<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>
Awards, Citations and Campaign Ribbons...<br/>
Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation - Navy Battle "E" Ribbon (2) - Navy Expeditionary Medal - National Defense Service Medal w/ 1 star - CG Special Operations Service Ribbon<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Mess Attendant Doris (Dorie) Miller USN (October 12 1919 - November 24 1943)<br/>
Miller was an African American cook in the United States Navy and hero during the [[Pearl Harbor Heroes|attack on Pearl Harbor]]. He was the first African American to be awarded the Navy Cross, the second highest honor that can be awarded by the U.S. Navy after the Medal of Honor. While serving on [[WEST_VIRGINIA_BB_48|USS WEST VIRGINIA BB-48]] when Captain [[BENNION DD 662|Mervyn Bennion]] was mortally wounded by a bomb splinter, an officer ordered Miller to the bridge to help in the futile effort to move him to a place of relative safety. Miller picked him up and carried him to a first-aid station. When directed to assist in loading a pair of unattended Browning .50 caliber anti-aircraft guns, Miller took control of one of them and began firing at the attacking Japanese planes, even though he had no prior training in operating the weapon; he eventually ran out of ammunition. Miller was reported Missing in Action December 7 1943 and presumed dead on November 25 1944 after the [[LISCOMBE BAY CVE 56|USS LISCOMBE BAY CVE-56]] on which he was serving, was torpedoed and sank by Japanese I-175 during The Battle of Tarawa on November 24 1943
