Return to USS Valley Forge LPH-8 Main Page
 


 

Covers should be listed in chronological order. Use the postmark date or best guess.
 
Each entry provides a link to the image of the front of the cover. There is also the option to have a link to the image of the back of the cover if there is anything of significance there. Finally, there is the primary date for the cover and the classification types for all postmarks based on the Locy System.
