<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%">

<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.

'''NAMESAKE''' - Walter Wynne Webster USN (July 28 1888 - March 16 1943)<br/>
Webster was appointed Midshipman on July 6 1907 and graduated from the Naval Academy with the Class of 1911. He spent his initial tours of sea duty before he began post-graduate studies at the Naval Academy in 1913. He then took a course of instruction in naval architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Later commissioned as an Assistant Naval Constructor, with the rank of Lieutenant (junior grade), on May 15 1914, Webster served in the hull divisions at the Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, Wash., and at the New York Navy Yard, Brooklyn, N.Y., before he went to Washington, D.C., for his first tour of duty in the Bureau of Aeronautics. In the years that followed, he became known as one of the pioneers of naval aviation, expending his energies in the development of better naval aircraft for the nation's fledgling naval air arm. Commissioned as Naval Constructor, with the rank of Lieutenant Commander, on June 6 1922 and given his naval observer's wings on July 22 of the same year, Webster was detached from his duty in Washington on September 25 1925 for "duty involving flying" at the Naval Aircraft Factory, Philadelphia Navy Yard, where he arrived on November 2 1925. He subsequently returned to Washington in the summer of 1929 for another tour in the Bureau of Aeronautics.
Subsequently taking instruction at the Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Fla., in heavier-than-air flight from October 30 1933 to June 20 1934, Webster went briefly to the Bureau of Aeronautics once more from October 26 to November 19, before he became Force Materiel Officer on the staff of Rear Admiral H. V. Butler, Commander, Aircraft, Battle Force, on December 21 1934. He later became manager of the Naval Aircraft Factory at Philadelphia, reporting for duty on June 25 1936, a post in which he served until his detachment on June 24 1940. After another brief Washington tour, Webster resumed his duties as manager of the Naval Aircraft Factory on December 26 1941, less than a month after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. While serving in that post, Webster was killed in a plane crash outside of Chester, Pa., on March 16 1943
