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.

    Cleveland Class Light Cruiser
    Ordered 16 December 1940 as BUFFALO CL-99
    Designated for completion as Aircraft Carrier 2 June 1942
    Reordered as Independence Class Light Aircraft Carrier
    Keel Laid 31 August 1942 as CV-29
    Reclassified Small Aircraft Carrier (CVL) 15 July 1943
    Launched 1 August 1943

  1. USS BATAAN CVL-29
    Commissioned 17 November 1943 - Decommissioned 11 February 1947
    Recommissioned 13 May 1950 - Decommissioned 9 April 1954

  2. USS BATAAN AVT-4
    Redesignated Auxiliary Aircraft Transport (AVT-4) 15 May 1959 while in Reserve

    Struck from Naval Register 1 September 1959
    Sold May 1961 for scrap

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. USS Bataan CVL-29 Covers Page 1     (1943-1951)

 

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.
