	In July 1965, Lcdr Taylor was assigned to Air Wing 16 aboard [[ORISKANY_CV_34_ \| USS Oriskany CVA 34]], and sailed to the western Pacific. On 17 November 1965, Cdr Taylor was flying his Skyraider attacking a key bridge near Haiphong. Hearing about another pilot’s plight after being shot down, he took command of the rescue effort, proceeded to the scene and found the downed pilot. He attacked the anti-aircraft gun sites, but because of fire in his own aircraft, he was forced to break off the attack. Rather than abandoning his plane in enemy territory, he tried to make the Gulf of Tonkin, but his plane crashed before he could eject. Commander Taylor was posthumously awarded the '''Navy Cross'''.

<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.
