<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%">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<ol>Oliver Hazard Perry Class Guided Missile Frigate<br/>
Keel Laid September 18 1982 - Launched July 16 1983<br/><br/>

Commissioned June 30 1984
</ol></td>

</tr>
</table>
<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 RENTZ FFG-46_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1]]    (1984-91)</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.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Commander George Snavely Rentz USN (July 25 1882 - March 1 1942). During the Battle of Sunda Strait on March 1 1942, the Australian light cruiser PERTH and [[HOUSTON CA 30|USS HOUSTON CA-30]] were both sunk. During the abandonment of HOUSTON, Commander Rentz entered the water and with other crewmembers made his way to safety on a floating aircraft pontoon. Aware that others were in worst need than he, he told them, "you men are young; I have lived the major part of my life, and I am willing to go." He gave up his position and lifejacket, trying to save the lives of other sailors, he perished with 692 other crew members.
