	Sterett was appointed Lieutenant in the United States Navy on March 25 1798 and assigned to CONSTELLATION as Third Lieutenant. During the Quasi-War with France, he was still serving in her when she captured L'INSURGENTE. By 1800, he had risen to First Lieutenant; and he participated in CONSTELLATION's action against La Vengeance. Given command of the Schooner, ENTERPRISE, Lt. Sterett led her in the capture of the French Privateer, V'AMOUR de la PATRIE, on Christmas Eve 1800. In June 1801, he sailed from Baltimore for service with the Mediterranean Squadron. While on that cruise, ENTERPRISE engaged and captured a 14-gun ~~Tri-politan~~ Cruiser and her 80-man crew. In gratitude, Congress awarded Sterett a sword and highly commended his crew. Lt. Sterett continued his Navy career until he resigned his commission in 1805. He died on June 9 1807, at Lima, Peru.<br/><br/>		Sterett was appointed Lieutenant in the United States Navy on 25 March 1798 and assigned to USS CONSTELLATION as Third Lieutenant.

<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.

<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.

'''NAMESAKE''' - Andrew Sterett (1760 - June 9 1807)<br/>
Sterett was appointed Lieutenant in the United States Navy on March 25 1798 and assigned to CONSTELLATION as Third Lieutenant. During the Quasi-War with France, he was still serving in her when she captured L'INSURGENTE. By 1800, he had risen to First Lieutenant; and he participated in CONSTELLATION's action against La Vengeance. Given command of the Schooner, ENTERPRISE, Lt. Sterett led her in the capture of the French Privateer, V'AMOUR de la PATRIE, on Christmas Eve 1800. In June 1801, he sailed from Baltimore for service with the Mediterranean Squadron. While on that cruise, ENTERPRISE engaged and captured a 14-gun Tri-politan Cruiser and her 80-man crew. In gratitude, Congress awarded Sterett a sword and highly commended his crew. Lt. Sterett continued his Navy career until he resigned his commission in 1805. He died on June 9 1807, at Lima, Peru
