S. COAST GUARD YARD Baltimore MD] page at Shipbuildinghistory.com has the following entry for VERTIERES:<br/>

			The page lists six 140-ton patrol craft being built from 1956-60 and immediately sent to foreign countries (1 to Haiti, 4 to Iran, 1 to Saudi Arabia).
			They do not show any US Coast Guard name, designation, or hull number.
			The page gives an 'Original Name' of "Cape ?" but note that these vessels, all at 140 tons, were larger that the standard 98-ton "Cape" vessels.
			<br/><br/>
			One of the ships sent to Iran was named KAIVAN.
			The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaivan-class_patrol_craft Wikipedia] page for Iranian Kaivan-class vessels says the following:<br/>
			"The Kaivan is a class of large patrol craft operated by the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy.
			They [sic] ships in the class are modified versions of the American Cape-class vessels, built by the United States Coast Guard Yard in the 1950s."
			The article notes there is disagreement between various sources as to the actual tonnage.

<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.

<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>
<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.
