Covers should be listed in chronological order. Use the postmark date or best guess.<br />
<br />
Each entry provides a link to the image of the front of the cover. There is also <br />
the option to have a link to the image of the back of the cover if there is anything <br />
of significance there. Finally, there is the primary date for the cover and the <br />
classification types for all postmarks based on the [[Locy_System | Locy System]].<br />

Although the cachet commemorates the ship's "Commmissioning", <br />
the Thornton was actually recommissioned on March 5, 1941. November 11, 1941 is not<br />
significant to any known ship event so it is unclear why this cover was canceled on this date.<br />
