<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>
Crater Class Cargo Ship<br/>
Laid down December 9 1941 as "SS JAMES WILSON", Maritime Commission type (EC2-S-C1) hull<br/>
Launched February 22 1942<br/>
Acquired by U.S. Navy March 27 1943<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS STEROPE AK-96'''<br/>
Commissioned May 14 1943<br/>
Converted to Cargo Ship (AK) - Completed June 10 1943<br/>
Decommissioned May 16 1946<br/>
Delivered to Maritime Commission August 1947<br/>
Laid up in National Defense Reserve Fleet, Suisun Bay - Name reverted to JAMES WILSON<br/><br/>
Struck from Naval Register November 19 1947<br/>
Sold August 16 1963 to The Learner Corp./Union Minerals & Alloys Corp., Oakland, CA for scrap
</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 name of the ship (for
example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same
ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner).
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 STEROPE AK-96_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1 ]]     (1943)</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 name and/or commissioning period. 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.
