<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>Arcturus Class Cargo Ship<br/>
Keel Laid October 25 1941<br/>
Launched February 28 1942 as HARRY CULBREATH<br/>
Acquired by U.S. Navy March 27 1942<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS TITANIA AK-55'''<br/>
Commissioned as Cargo Ship (AK) May 27 1942<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS TITANIA AKA-13'''<br/>
Reclassified Attack Cargo Ship (AKA) February 1 1943<br/>
Decommissioned July 19 1955<br/><br/>
Struck from Naval Register July 1 1961<br/>
Scrapped 1974
</ol></td>
<td align="center" width="220" valign="top">

</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 TITANIA AKA-13_Covers_Page_1 |Titania Covers Page 1 ]]     (1942-51)</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.
