<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> 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.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
YOKES received one battle star for her World War II service<br/><br/>
Awards, Citations and Campaign Ribbons...<br/>
American Campaign Medal - Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (1) - World War II Victory Medal - Navy Occupation Service Medal (with Asia clasp)<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - William John Yokes (November 15 1918 - October 19 1942)<br/>
Yokes enlisted in the Navy at Cleveland, Ohio, on January 3 1942 and ultimately advanced to the rating of Seaman 2d class. Attached to the armed guard detachment in SS STEEL NAVIGATOR, Yokes was killed in action on October 19 1942 when his ship, a straggler from Convoy ON-137, attacked by the German submarine U-610. On October 19 1942, lookouts spotted the periscope of U-610, and the armed guard unit swiftly manned their guns. Soon the gunfire registered several near-misses to the enemy's periscope, and he withdrew temporarily. Later that day, U-610 returned and torpedoed the hapless merchantman, sinking her immediately. Among the dead, Yokes was commended posthumously by the Chief of Naval Personnel, who cited the seaman's "courageous and unfailing devotion to duty . . . fortitude, skill and bravery" in conduct "in keeping with the highest traditions of the naval service."
