			<h5>Conflicting History Data</h5>
			[https://www.navsource.org/archives/09/19/19088.htm NavSource] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Tomahawk_(AO-88) Wikipedia]
			disagree on the following two points:<br/>
			<ol>
			<li>NavSource says: "Her forepart became part of SS Seatrain Washington (USNS Mission San Diego T-AO-121), the midship section became part of SS Seatrain Ohio (USNS Mission San Jose T-AO-125) and the aft machinery section was retained as SS Seatrain Maine". This implies that the ship was broken up and some parts were sent elsewhere.<br/>
			Wikipedia says the opposite: "She was subsequently lengthened using sections of two other T2 tankers, the Mission San Jose and Mission San Diego"</li><br/>
			<li>NavSource says the ship was: "sold for scrapping, 13 March 2008, to ESCO Marine, Brownsville, TX." while<br/>
			Wikipedia says: "Still at Beaumont [Texas] as of 2010, her ultimate disposition is unknown."</li>

<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>
<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.
