<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>Heywood Class Transport<br/>
Keel Laid 1918 as Three Masted Screw Steamer INDEPENDENCE<br/>
Acquired by U.S. Navy 1918<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS INDEPENDENCE ID-3676'''<br/>
Commissioned November 18 1918 - Decommissioned March 20 1919<br/>
Returned to United States Shipping Board for merchant service<br/><br/>
<li>'''CITY OF NORFOLK''' (Merchant Service)<br/>
Acquired by The Baltimore Mail Steamship Co., rebuilt and renamed<br/>
Reacquired by U.S. Navy December 14 1940<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS NEVILLE AP-16'''<br/>
Commissioned Transport (AP) May 14 1941<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS NEVILLE APA-9'''<br/>
Reclassified Amphibious Attack Transport (APA) February 1 1943<br/>
Decommissioned April 30 1946<br/>
Returned to Maritime Commission July 16 1946<br/><br/>
Struck from Naval Register August 15 1946<br/>
Scrapped 1957
</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>[[USS NEVILLE APA-9_Covers_Page_1 | Neville Covers Page 1]]    (1941-45)</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.

'''NAMESAKE''' - Wendell Cushing Neville, born at Portsmouth, Va., May 12 1870, entered the U.S. Naval Academy September 12 1886 and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps July 1 1893. In February 1914, Neville, a veteran of the Spanish-American War and the Boxer Rebellion, was promoted to Lt. Colonel and ordered to sail for Vera Cruz, Mexico. There he led his regiment in the landing operations which resulted in the capture of that city, April 21-22. For his conspicuous courage, coolness and skill during those operations he received a commendatory letter from the Secretary of the Navy and was later awarded the Medal of Honor. Promoted to Colonel, August 1916, he was transferred overseas, December 1917, to command the 5th Regiment. In Europe, he put that organization through its final training and then led it into battle, commanding at Verdun and at Belleau Wood. Promoted to Brigadier General, he commanded the brigade which led in the Battle of Soissons (Marbache sector), the Battle of Blanc Mont Ridge (Champagne sector), the Meuse-Argonne offensive, the march to the Rhine, and, finally, the occupation of a sub-sector in the Coblenz Bridgehead. Continuing his service after occupation duty, he was appointed Major General, December 10 1923, and became the 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps, March 5 1929. Maj. General Neville died July 8 1930 and was interred in Arlington National Cemetery. {DANFS}
