	'''NAMESAKE''' - Admiral Frank Herman Schofield (January 4 1869 - March 21 1942)<br/>Schofield, born at Jerusalem, N.Y., graduated from the Naval Academy on 6 June 1890 and was commissioned Ensign in 1892. Within a nine year period as a junior officer, he served in USS Enterprise, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Marblehead, Patterson, Scindia and Vermont. He served during the Spanish American War as the Executive Officer of the USS Hawk, blockading Cuban ports and captured four Spanish vessels. In May 1901, he was assigned to the Bureau of Ordinance as the Inspector of Ordinance. Following this tour, he served on the USS Supply in the Pacific, and then assumed command of the USS Perry, a destroyer in the Pacific Squadron in 1904. In 1907, he took command of the USS Supply until 1909. Following that, he served as Commanding Officer of USS Concord in the Asiatic Fleet. His next tour took him back to the Atlantic as the Executive Officer of the USS New Hampshire until 1911, when he attended the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. He next became the executive officer of the USS Arkansas, and then commanded USS Isla De Luzon until he once again became the executive officer of the USS Delaware, serving in Mexico from July to October 1914. He then commanded USS Chester. In 1915, he reported to the Chief of Naval Operations, appointed as Senior Member of a board in connection to Submarine Warfare. He was then ordered to London England in November 1917, serving as Aide in the Planning Section of the Staff of the Commander, US Naval Forces, attached to the USS Melville, flagship. Here he was awarded the Navy Cross for his participation in developing anti-submarine warfare tactics and assisting the Chief of Naval Operations in the deliberations in Paris, assisting with the development of the Naval Terms of the German Armistice. For his service in the War, he was awarded the Legion of Honor by France, Knight Commander of the Liberian Humane Order of African Redemption by Liberia and the Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George by Britain. He assumed duties as Commanding Officer of the USS Texas in 1919, and then served for three years as a member of the General Board in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. In 1924, he was promoted to Rear Admiral, and became Commander Destroyer Squadrons, Battle Fleet. Following this, he again served three years in the War Plans department of the Chief of Naval Operations, and then left for a tour as the Naval Member of the American Representation at the Three-Power Conference for the Limitation of Armament at Geneva, Switzerland. He was then appointed in 1928 by Secretary of the Navy, Curtis Wilbur to head a board to obtain oceanographic data, later known as the 'Schofield Board', which continued it's work for many years, even after his death. In 1929, he became Commander Battleship Division Four, Battle Fleet. In 1930, he was promoted to full Admiral, becoming Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Battle Force. In 1932, he reverted to his permanent rank of Rear Admiral, and served on the General Board until his 64th birthday in 1933, retiring from the Navy after 47 years of service. He died in 1942, and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

<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.

<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.
