	'''NAMESAKE''' - Rear Admiral Edward Simpson, USN (March 3 1824 – December 1 1888)		USS SIMPSON earned the Yangtze Service Medal, the American Defense Service Medal, the American Campaign Medal, the European–African–Middle Eastern Campaign Medal and the World War II Victory Medal during her Naval career.<br/><br/>
			'''NAMESAKE''' - Rear Admiral Edward Simpson, USN (3 March 1824 – 1 December 1888)<br/>        Edward Simpson was born in New York City on 3 March 1824. Appointed midshipman in the United States Navy in February 1840, he served afloat until late 1845, when he became a member of the first class of midshipmen to be trained at the new Naval Academy at Annapolis. After graduation on 9 July 1846, Simpson reported to USS Vixen and participated in numerous bombardments during the Mexican-American War. During the next 15 years, he served afloat in the Brazil and China squadrons and with the Coast Survey, and ashore in two tours at the Naval Academy: first as gunnery instructor, then in 1860 as head of the department of ordnance and gunnery. Finally, he became Commandant of Midshipmen in 1862. Simpson took command of the monitor, USS Passaic, in June 1863 and participated in bombardments at Charleston from July to November 1863. From July to December 1864, he commanded USS Isonomia in the East Gulf Squadron; and, then served from February to April 1865 as Fleet Captain of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron and of the forces attacking Mobile. After the war, he alternated tours of command ashore and afloat with tours of ordnance duty, including a mission to Europe in 1870-72, and command of the torpedo station in 1873 and again in 1874-75. In 1883, he was appointed president of a board to select a site for a government gun factory and made another study trip to Europe. Promoted to Rear Admiral on 9 February 1884, he served as President of the Naval Advisory Board and President of the Board of Inspection and Survey until his retirement on 3 March 1886. Rear Admiral Simpson died in Washington, D.C., on 1 December 1888.<br/><br/>
			The ships sponsor was Miss Caroline Sterett Simpson, daughter of Rear Admiral Simpson.

<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>
Clemson Class Destroyer<br/>
Keel Laid October 9 1919 - Launched April 28 1920<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS SIMPSON DD-221'''<br/>
Commissioned November 3 1920<br/>
Planned conversion to High-speed Transport APD-27 December 1 1943<br/>
Conversion cancelled January 1944<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS SIMPSON AG-97'''<br/>
Reclassified Miscellaneous Auxiliary (AG) May 25 1945<br/>

</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>

</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.
