<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 incarnation of the ship (ie,
for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). 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 incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry
in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). 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.

Navy Expeditionary Medal - American Campaign Medal - Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal - WWII Victory Medal - Navy Occupation Service Medal - National Defense Service Medal w/ star - Philippine Liberation Ribbon<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Named in Honor of Lt. (jg) Jeff Davis Woodson USN (June 10 1908 - June 4 1942).<br/>
Assigned to Torpedo Squadron 8 [[HORNET CV 8|USS HORNET CV-8]], during The Battle of Midway. On June 4 1942, disregarding overwhelming odds, inadequate defenses, and lack of fighter support, Woodson and his comrades gallantly pressed home their attacks on three enemy carriers AKAGI, KAGA, and SORYU. All Japanese fighters swooped in on the almost-defenseless torpedo bombers and literally massacred them. Woodson was killed in a valiant effort to sink one of the perpetrators of the Pearl Harbor attack. For his "extraordinary heroism and distinguished service beyond the call of duty " and in recognition of the fact that his sacrifice "was a determining factor in the defeat of the enemy forces", Woodson was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.
