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.

    Balao Class Submarine
    Keel Laid September 4 1943 - Launched February 20 1944

  1. USS ICEFISH SS-367
    Commissioned June 10 1944 - Decommissioned June 21 1946
    Laid up in Pacific Reserve Fleet
    Recommissioned June 5 1952 - Decommissioned July 29 1952
    Recommissioned December 10 1952 - Decommissioned February 21 1953

  2. WALRUS S-802 (Dutch Naval Service)
    Transferred (loaned) February 21 1953 to The Netherlands and renamed
    Returned to U.S. Navy custody July 15 1971

    Struck from Naval Register July 15 1971
    Sold August 15 1971 to A.J. Van Den Kooy N.V., Rijnacker Netherlands 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 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.

  1. USS Icefish SS-367 Covers Page 1     (1945)

 

Postmarks

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