<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.
<table width="90%">

<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>
<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.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
PUTNAM received 3 battle stars for her World War II service.<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Charles Flint Putnam (December 1 1854 - January 1882)<br/>
Putnam entered the Naval Academy at the age of 14. Upon his request at graduation in 1873, he was ordered to the Far East in KEARSARGE, serving in that vessel with the Asiatic Squadron until 1875. Master Putnam was stationed at San Francisco in 1876 and was attached to Schoolship JAMESTOWN in 1877–78. In 1879 he joined the Coast Survey Steamer HASSLER in the North Pacific. Putnam volunteered in 1881 for service in RODGERS, fitted out to search for JEANETTE, which had been lost in the Arctic on an expedition to reach the North Pole. When RODGERS burned at St. Lawrence Bay, Siberia, November 30 1881, Putnam took supplies to the survivors on dog sledges. On his return to his depot at Cape Serdze, he missed his way in a blinding snow storm January 10 1882, drifted out to sea on an ice-floe and was never heard from again.<br/><br/>Two ships of the US Navy haved honored PUTNAM - [[PUTNAM_DD_287_ | USS Putnam DD-287]] and USS Putnam DD-757.
