<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3><br />
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during <br />
its lifetime.<br />
The list is in chronological order.<br />
<table width="90%"><br />
<tr><br />
<td valign="top"><br />
<ol><br />
PC-461 Class Submarine Chaser<br/><br />
Laid down October 31 1941 - Launched September 13 1942<br/><br/><br />

<h3>Naval Covers</h3><br />
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the <br />
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each name of the ship (for <br />
example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same <br />
ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner). <br />
Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).<br />
<br />
Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't <br />
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date <br />
range for covers on that page.<br />

<br />
<h3>Postmarks</h3><br />
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a <br />
separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. Within each set, <br />
the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one <br />
postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of <br />
earliest known usage.<br />
<br />
A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an <br />
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN <br />
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.<br />
<br/>&nbsp;<br/><br />
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the<br />
existing example.<br />
