<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><br/>
Clemson Class Destroyer<br/>
Keel Laid November 23 1918 - Launched July 29 1919<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS STURTEVANT DD-240'''<br/>
Commissioned September 21 1920 - Decommissioned January 30 1931<br/>
Recommissioned March 9 1932 - Decommissioned November 20 1937<br/>
Recommissioned September 26 1939<br/>
SUNK (Mine) April 26 1942 off Key West Fla<br/>
An American-laid minefield that no one on board was notified of in the area<br/>
15 of her crew were lost with the ship and remain on duty<br/><br/>
Struck from Naval Register May 8 1942
</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>[[USS STURTEVANT DD-240_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1]]    (1927-41)</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.
