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.

    President Jackson Class Transport
    Keel Laid 6 June 1940 - Launched 31 June 1941
    Acquired by US Navy 5 June 1941 and converted for Naval service

  1. USS PRESIDENT ADAMS AP-38
    Commissioned Transport (AP) 19 November 1941

  2. USS PRESIDENT ADAMS APA-19
    Redesignated Attack Transport (APA) 1 February 1943
    Decommissioned 14 June 1950

    Struck from Naval Register 1 October 1958
    Scrapped in Taiwan 1974
President John Adams
President John Quincy Adams

 

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 President Adams AP-38 Covers Page 1     (1941-1943)
  2. USS President Adams APA-19 Covers Page 1     (1943-1950)

 

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.
