<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>Crater Class Cargo Ship<br/>
Keel Laid July 5 1942<br/>
Launched August 21 1942 as WILLIAM WILLIAMS<br/>
Delivered to Isthmian Steamship Lines September 8 1942<br/>
Acquired by U.S. Navy November 6 1943 and renamed<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS VENUS AK-135'''<br/>
Commissioned September 26 1944 - Decommissioned April 18 1946<br/><br/>
Struck from Naval Register February 19 1948<br/>
Laid up February 27 1948 in National Defense Reserve Fleet, Suisun Bay<br/><br/>
Sold August 21 1961 to Union Minerals and Alloys Corp. for scrap
</ol></td>

</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> Covers Page 1     (DATE RANGE)</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.
