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 name of the ship (for example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner). 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     (1944-45)

 

Postmarks

This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. 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 - Ben Richard Bronstein USN (April 14 1915 - February 28 1942)
Bronstein graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 1936, then from Tufts College Medical School at Boston in 1940. Dr. Bronstein was appointed Assistant Surgeon, Medical Corps with the rank of Lieutenant (junior grade) on October 4 1941. He reported to the Portsmouth (NH) Navy Yard on November 6; then moved on to Casco Bay ME to await transportation to Argentia, Newfoundland, to meet USS JACOB JONES DD-130. He reported on board the destroyer late in December. While serving as a roving antisubmarine patrol ship off the Delaware Capes on February 27 1942, JACOB JONES spotted the burning wreckage of the torpedoed tanker R.P. RESOR. The destroyer searched the area around the wreckage for survivors and then headed south on patrol. At dawn on February 28, the undetected German submarine U-578 sank JACOB JONES with at least two torpedoes. Lt.(jg.) Bronstein was lost with the ship
