<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.

<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.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Rear Admiral Henry Maston Mullinnix, USN (July 4 1892 - November 24 1943)<br/>
Mullinnix graduated first in his Naval Academy Class of 1916. He served in [[BALCH_DD_50_ | USS Balch (Destroyer #50)]], engaged in patrol and escort duty off Ireland during World War I. Following service in [[GRIDLEY_DD_92_ | USS Gridley (DD-92)]] and [[BROOKS_DD_232_ | Brooks (DD-232)]], he completed work in aeronautical engineering at Annapolis and MIT, receiving an M.S. degree in 1923. After flight training at Pensacola, Fla., he was designated naval aviator on 11 January 1924. He was one of those mainly responsible for developing the air-cooled engine for naval aircraft. Between 1924 and 1941, besides various shore duties, he served in [[SARATOGA_CV_3_ | Saratoga (CV-3)]], as assembly & repair officer; assistant air officer; and commanding officer of her bombing squadron (VB-2B), [[SAN_CLEMENTE_AG_79_ | USS Wright (AV-1)]], and was the first commanding officer of [[CORPUS_CHRISTI_BAY_T-ARVH_1_ | USS Albemarle (AV-5)]]. Mullinnix commanded [[SARATOGA_CV_3_ | Saratoga (CV-3)]], from 7 April 1943, until 22 August, when he was transferred to duty with a carrier division, with the rank of rear admiral. Rear Admiral Mullinnix was ComCarDiv 24, on board USS Liscombe Bay CVE-56, when she was torpedoed and sunk off Makin Island, in the Gilberts, 24 November 1943. He was reported as "Missing In Action" and declared dead one year later. Henry M. Mullinnix was posthumously awarded the Legion of Merit in recognition of his "outstanding initiative and superior executive ability." {DANFS}
