Ship Name and Designation History

This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime. The list is in chronological order.

    Clemson Class Destroyer
    Keel Laid 10 June 1918 - Launched 17 March 1919

  1. USS HATFIELD Destroyer No. 231
    Commissioned 16 April 1920

  2. USS HATFIELD DD-231
    Designated (DD) 17 July 1920 - Decommissioned 13 January 1931
    Recommissioned 1 April 1932 - Decommissioned 28 April 1938
    Recommissioned 25 September 1939

  3. USS HATFIELD AG-84
    Reclassified Miscellaneous Auxiliary (AG) 1 October 1944
    Decommissioned 13 December 1946

    Struck from Naval Register 28 January 1947
    Sold 9 May 1947 and broken up for scrap

 

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.

  1. USS Hatfield DD-231 Covers Page 1    (1929-1941)
  2. USS Hatfield AG-84 Covers Page 1     (DATE RANGE)

 

Postmarks

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.
 
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the existing example.
