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.


    Wickes Class Destroyer
    Keel Laid 25 June 1918 - Launched 11 January 1919

  1. USS COLE Destroyer No. 155
    Commissioned 19 June 1919

  2. USS COLE DD-155
    Designated (DD) 17 July 1920
    Decommissioned 10 July 1922
    Recommissioned 1 May 1930 - Decommissioned 27 January 1937
    Recommissioned 16 October 1939 and assigned to Neutrality Patrol

  3. USS COLE AG-116
    Reclassified Miscellaneous Auxiliary (AG) 30 June 1945
    Decommissioned 1 November 1945

    Struck from Naval Register 16 November 1945
    Sold 6 October 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 Cole DD-155 Covers Page 1    (1930-1944)

 

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.
