			<!-- Note about BB hull designation: From https://www.history.navy.mil/our-collections/photography/us-navy-ships/battleships.html
			"Until July 1920, U.S. Navy Battleships did not officially have "BB" series hull numbers. They were, however, referred to by
			"Battleship Number", with that number corresponding to the "BB" number formally assigned in July 1920, or which would have
			been assigned if the ship had still been on the Navy list."

<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>New Mexico Class Battleship<br/>
Keel Laid April 5 1915 - Launched January 25 1917<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS MISSISSIPPI Battleship No. 41'''<br/>
Commissioned December 18 1917<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS MISSISSIPPI BB-41'''<br/>
Designated (BB) July 17 1920<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS MISSISSIPPI AG-128'''<br/>
Reclassified Miscellaneous Auxiliary (AG) February 15 1946<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS MISSISSIPPI EAG-128'''<br/>
Reclassified Experimental Miscellaneous Auxiliary (EAG) 1955<br/>
Decommissioned September 17 1956<br/><br/>
Struck from Naval Register July 30 1956<br/>
Sold November 28 1956 to the Bethlehem Steel Co. 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>[[MISSISSIPPI BB-41_Covers_Page_1 | Mississippi Covers Page 1]]    (1919-53)</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.
