<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%">

<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> Covers Page 1     (DATE RANGE)</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.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
TABBERER earned 4 battle stars and a Navy Unit Commendation for service in World War II<br/><br/>
Awards, Citations and Campaign Ribbons...<br/>
Combat Action Ribbon (retroactive) - Navy Unit Commendation - American Campaign Medal - Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal w/ 4 stars - WWII Victory Medal - Navy Occupation Service Medal - National Defense Service Medal<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Charles Arthur Tabberer USNR (December 18 1915 - August 7 1942)<br/>
Tabberer enlisted in the Naval Reserve on October 12 1939 and after elimination flight training at Kansas City was appointed an Aviation Cadet on January 111 940. Following flight instruction at Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola and NAS Miami, Florida, Tabberer was designated a Naval Aviator on November 1 1940. He was commissioned an Ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve on December 12 1940, and after further training with the Fleet Air Detachment, NAS San Diego, Calif., he received orders to join Fighting Squadron 5 (VF-5) which then formed part of the [[YORKTOWN CV 5|USS YORKTOWN CV-5]] Air Group. He reported to VF-5 on January 21 1941, and made the cruise with the carrier when she was reassigned to the Atlantic Fleet in the spring of 1941, and transitioned with the squadron from the Grumman F3F to the Grumman F4F Wildcat during 1941. Promoted to Lieutenant (junior grade) on May 29 1942, Tabberer and his squadron were ultimately assigned to [[SARATOGA CV 3|USS SARATOGA CV-3]] for the invasion of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. On August 7 1942, Lt. (jg.) Tabberer was one of the eight VF-5 pilots who engaged a force of land attack planes and their fighter escort (the latter equipped with Mitsubishi A6M2 Type 0 fighters of the crack Tainan Air Group), vastly superior in strength, as it attacked the U.S. invasion force off Guadalcanal. Despite the altitude disadvantage, VF-5's two Wildcat-equipped sections gallantly waded into the fray, suffering grievous losses at the hands of the more experienced enemy. Lt. (j.g.) Tabberer was last seen dogfighting a Zero. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, posthumously
