	Zellars was a lieutenant (junior grade) in the United States Navy who served on the [[MISSISSIPPI EAG 128\|USS MISSISSIPPI BB-41]]. On June 12 1920, Thomas Zellars and 47 other crew members died in a firing accident. However before they were killed, Zellars apparently opened a flood valve that extinguished the fire, preventing further damage to the ship and likely saving the lives of his shipmates.

<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.

<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

<h3>Other Information</h3>
ZELLARS earned 1 Battle Star for her World War II service and 4 Battle Stars for her Korean War service.<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Thomas Edward Zellars<br/>
Zellars was a lieutenant (junior grade) in the United States Navy who served on the [[MISSISSIPPI EAG 128|USS MISSISSIPPI BB-41]]. On June 12 1920, Thomas Zellars and 47 other crew members died in a firing accident. However before they were killed, Zellars apparently opened a flood valve that extinguished the fire, preventing further damage to the ship and likely saving the lives of his shipmates.
