<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>

<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>[[USS WEDDERBURN DD-684_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1 ]]     (1951-62)</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 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.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
WEDDERBURN earned 7 battle stars for World War II service, 4 battle stars for Korean War service, and 6 battle stars for service in the Vietnam conflict<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Charles Foster Wedderburn (October 2 1892 - November 19 1917)<br/>
Wedderburn was appointed Midshipman at the United States Naval Academy on July 7 1911, he graduated and received his commission on June 5 1915. Ensign Wedderburn served in the Cruiser [[BROOKLYN CA 3|USS BROOKLYN CA-3]] from graduation to the end of 1915. In December 1915, he transferred to the Destroyer CHAUNCEY DD-3 assigned to the Asiatic Fleet and based at Cavite in the Philippines. He was promoted to Lieutenant (j.g.) on July 1 1917; and, a month later, his ship departed Cavite with orders to the coast of France. Based at St. Nazaire, his ship escorted convoys in the eastern Atlantic. While on such a mission about 110 miles west of Gibraltar, Chauncey was involved in a fatal collision with the British merchantman, SS ROSE, on the night of November 18-19. The destroyer sank at approximately 3:17 a.m. on the 19th taking Wedderburn and 20 of his comrades to their deaths.
