<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.

<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''' - John Young (1740-1781)<br/>
Young was a captain in the Continental Navy during the American Revolutionary War, commander of the SARATOGA which was lost at sea. He began his seafaring career at an early age in the colonial merchant marine and, at the start of the American Revolution, was commissioned 23rd on the list of Captains in the Continental Navy. On September 20 1776, the Continental Congress directed Young to take the Sloop-of-War INDEPENDENCE to Martinique to protect American mercantile shipping in the West Indies. Collaterally, INDEPENDENCE was to raid British shipping whenever the opportunity arose. On July 5 1777, Young was ordered to Nantes, France, and subsequently arrived at Lorient with two prizes. On February 17 1778, while in French waters, he sailed through the French Fleet, saluting that nation's government with a 13-gun salute. In return he received a nine-gun salute, one of the earliest salutes rendered by the French government to the fledgling American government. At the time, John Paul Jones was on board INDEPENDENCE. Young returned to America in the spring of 1778 and successively commanded two Pennsylvania Privateers, BUCKSKIN and IMPERTENENT, before he was given command of the Sloop-of-War SARATOGA - then fitting out at Philadelphia--in May 1780. Young took her to sea on August 13 1780 and, in the course of the ship's first cruise, captured one prize before she returned to port for repairs and alterations. Subsequent cruises were more successful, as Young commanded SARATOGA on three more sweeps at sea in which he took a total of eight more prizes. Young proved himself a daring and resourceful commander. On one occasion, he took SARATOGA between two British ships and captured both. Largely as a result of his dedication and emphasis on training, SARATOGA compiled a distinguished, but altogether brief, record before her untimely and unexplained loss. SARATOGA set sail from Cap Francais, in what is now the Dominican Republic, on March 15 1781. After taking a prize three days later, the Sloop-of-War became separated from her later that day when a strong gale swept through the area, the high winds nearly swamping the prize commanded by Midshipman Penfield. After the storm passed by, SARATOGA was nowhere to be seen, having vanished without a trace
