<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.

'''NAMESAKE''' - William Joseph Pattison USN (January 15 1921 - March 10 1943)<br/>
Pattison enlisted in the Navy on August 23 1939 at Indianapolis, Ind. A conscientious sailor, Pattison advanced steadily in rating and, at least once, was meritoriously promoted. By the beginning of 1943, he had reached the rank of Signalman 3d Class and was serving in [[EBERLE DD 430|USS EBERLE DD-430]] in the South Atlantic. On March 10 1943, his ship encountered the German Blockade Runner, KARIN, which was flying the Dutch flag. The task group commander, Rear Admiral O. M. Read, ordered EBERLE to ignore the ship's Allied flag and board her. Pattison was one of the 14 men chosen from EBERLE's complement to board the blockade runner before her crew could scuttle her and was the second American to reach the enemy ship's deck. In spite of rising flames and explosions, Pattison performed his salvage duties—primarily maintaining contact while his colleagues searched for demolition charges. While executing his duty, Pattison was killed by the explosion of one of the German demolition charges. For his ". . . exemplary conduct and heroic devotion to duty . . .," SM3c Pattison was awarded the Navy Cross, posthumously
