<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3>

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.
<ol>
<li>[[USS VAMMEN DE-644_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1]]    (1946-62)</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.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
VAMMEN earned the Combat Action Ribbon, the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (w/ 1 Battle star),
the World War II Victory Medal, two National Defense Service Medals, the Korean Service Medal (w/ 1 Battle star), the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, the United Nations Korean Service Medal and the Republic of Korea War Service Medal during her Naval career.<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Ensign Clarence Earl Vammen, Jr. USN (1919-42).<br/>On June 5 1942, while assigned to Scouting Squadron VS-6 [[ENTERPRISE CV 6|USS ENTERPRISE CV-6]], Vammen took off with eight other planes as part of the strike launched to locate and sink what had been erroneously reported as two enemy carriers. Vammen, who had never received instruction in night carrier recoveries, made his first night landing on [[HORNET CV 8|USS HORNET CV-8]]. The next morning, Vammen joined HORNET's planes in attacking the fleeing Japanese heavy cruisers MOGAMI and MIKMNA, a strike that inflicted such severe damage on the latter that she sank later that day. Vammen failed to return from that mission. For his part in the Battle of Midway, he was cited for "courage and unflinching devotion to duty", and awarded the '''Distinguished Flying Cross''' posthumously.
