			<h5>Conflicting History Data</h5>
			Post-Navy history mostly comes from [https://lst1166.com/Restoration.html LST1066.com].<br/><br/>
			[https://www.navsource.org/archives/10/16/161166.htm NavSource] gives the following details<br/>
			<ul>
			<li>Still [in Portland, OR] on January 19, 1984, when engine room flooded</li>
			<li>Sold to J.A. Leites & Associates, Inc., Portland, OR.</li>
			<li>Was undergoing restoration at Astoria, OR., by volunteers of the Amphibious Forces Memorial Museum/LST 1166 Partners, when completed she will be the center piece of their museum</li>
			</ul>
			The January 19, 1984 date for the engine room flood conflicts with the history given on the LST1066.com page - unless these are two different events.
			Also, I can find no information about J.A. Leites & Associates, Inc.<br/><br/>
			I can find no entry for AL MANHAL 1 in Lloyd's Register of Shipping.
			The first entry I found for EL CENTROAMERICANO was in the 1983-84 edition and shows prior names of "ex AL MANHAL 1-80",
			"ex WASHTENAW COUNTY (LST 1166)", and "ex LST 1166-55"<br/>
			The [https://archive.org/details/HECROS1986AG/page/1446/mode/2up Lloyd’s Register of Shipping 1985-86] entry for EL CENTROAMERICANO has the following notation: "IN PORT DAMAGED 1/84".
			This damage date matches NavSource.<br/>
			The 1986-87 through at least 1989-90 editions still have an entry for EL CENTROAMERICANO but list the owner as "Banco de Costa Rica S.A."

<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>
<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.
