	'''NAMESAKE''' - Lieutenant Commander Alexander S. MacKenzie, USN<br/>		'''NAMESAKE''' - Lieutenant Commander Alexander Slidell MacKenzie USN (24 January 1842 - 13 June 1867)<br/>
	~~LCdr~~. MacKenzie ~~lost his life on~~ June 13 1867, ~~during~~ a ~~combat action on Formosa~~.		Appointed to the U.S. Naval Academy in 1855, he graduated in June 1859 and was assigned to the newly completed steam sloop of war USS Hartford. During the next two years, Midshipman MacKenzie served in that ship with the East India Squadron. Promoted to lieutenant in August 1861, he was an officer of the gunboat USS Kineo during the conquest of the lower Mississippi River in 1862. During 1863 and 1864 he later transferred to the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, MacKenzie served off Charleston, South Carolina, in the steam frigate USS Wabash and monitor USS Patapsco, taking part in combat operations against Fort Sumter and Morris Island. Later in the Civil War he commanded the USS Winona, also in the waters off South Carolina. In July 1865 MacKenzie received the rank of lieutenant commander and soon began a second Far Eastern deployment in Hartford.<br/>After the end of the war, he returned to the East Asia in USS Hartford, in which he served until 13 June 1867, when he was killed in action at Kenting, Taiwan, while leading a punitive expedition against the massacre of the entire crew of an American merchant bark Rover.<br/><br/>
			Three ships of the US Navy have been named in his honor - USS MacKenzie TB-17, [[MacKENZIE_DD_175_ \| USS MacKenzie DD-175]]
			and [[MacKENZIE_DD_614_ \| USS MacKenzie DD-614]].

<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.
