<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>Buckley Class Type TE Destroyer Escort<br/>
Keel Laid September 16 1943 - Launched October 15 1943<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS UNDERHILL DE-682'''<br/>
Commissioned November 15 1943<br/>
SUNK July 24 1945 by Japanese "Kaiten Torpedo" off Luzon<br/>
112 of her crew were lost with the ship and remain on duty
</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 UNDERHILL DE-682_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1]]    (1943-45)</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.

'''NAMESAKE''' - Ensign Samuel Jackson Underhill USN (25 August 1917 - 8 May 1942)<br/>
On the morning of May 8 1942, [[YORKTOWN CV 5|USS YORKTOWN CV-5]] launched the SBDs of Scouting Squadron VS-5, dividing the group to accomplish separate missions. One division joined in the attack on Japanese carrier SHOKAKU and, diving from 17,000 feet through broken cloud cover, dropped bombs which bent the enemy carrier's deck sufficiently to prevent the launching of her aircraft. As the bombers pulled out, Japanese fighter planes swarmed out to repel them but were fought off by the Americans. Later that morning, dive bombers of VS-5 conducted anti-torpedo plane patrol around YORKTOWN's formation. Pressed into service due to the lack of fighters, the slower Dauntless dive-bombers were at a disadvantage with the Japanese attackers. At 1110, eight of the American bombers intercepted and engaged a group of about 17 Japanese fighter planes, shot down six of the enemy and damaged seven more. When the fierce action was over, Ensign Underhill was numbered among those lost in the fight to protect the carrier. He was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for his extraordinary heroism
