Naval Covers

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. Covers Page 1     (1938-45)

 

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.

NAMESAKE - Francis Asbury Roe (October 4 1823 - December 28 1901)
Roe graduated from the Naval School, Annapolis, in 1848. Six years later, while serving in PORPOISE on the Asiatic Station, he participated in an engagement with 13 Chinese armored junks off Macao. Six of the junks were sunk and the others were scattered. During the Civil War, in April 1862, he was recommended for promotion for gallantry for his actions onboard PENSACOLA as that ship led Admiral Farragut's starboard column past Forts Jackson and St. Philip. After commanding KATAHDIN on the Mississippi, he was ordered to command SASSACUS in September 1863. Eight months later he was again commended for gallantry for engaging the Confederate Ram ALBEMARLE and the Gunboat BOMBSHELL in the sounds of North Carolina. After the end of the war he commanded the Mexican Division of the Gulf Squadron; served as fleet captain for both the Asiatic Station from 1868 to 1871 and the Brazil Station from 1874 to 1875. Promoted to Rear Admiral November 3 1884, while serving as Governor of the Naval Asylum at Philadelphia, he was transferred to the retired list October 4 1885. He died in Washington, D.C., December 28 1901
