<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>Saint Louis Class Protected Cruiser<br/>
Keel Laid July 31 1902 - Launched May 6 1905<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS SAINT LOUIS Cruiser No. 20 (C-20)'''<br/>
Commissioned August 8 1906 - Decommissioned May 3 1910<br/>
Recommissioned October 7 1911<br/>
Assigned to Oregon Naval Militia July 14 1912<br/>
Assigned as Receiving Ship April 27 1914<br/>
Decommissioned February 17 1916<br/>
Recommissioned July 10 1916<br/>
Assigned as Submarnie Tender July 29 1916<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS SAINT LOUIS CA-18'''<br/>
Designated Heavy Cruiser (CA) July 17 1920<br/>
Decommissioned March 3 1922<br/><br/>
Struck from Naval Register March 20 1930<br/>
Sold August 13 1930 for scrap
</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> 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 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.
