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.

    Tennessee Class Armored Cruiser
    Keel Laid 1 March 1905 - Launched 6 October 1906

  1. USS NORTH CAROLINA Armored Cruiser No. 12
    Commissioned 7 May 1908

    Renamed 6 June 1920

    Decommissioned 18 February 1921

    Stricken 15 July 1930
    Sold 29 September 1930 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 North Carolina ACR-12 Covers Page 1     (1909-10)
  2. USS North Carolina ACR-12 Covers Page 2     (1911-13)
  3. USS North Carolina ACR-12 Covers Page 3     (1914-19)
  4. USS North Carolina ACR-12 Covers Page 4     (Ship Activity Postcards & Misc. Items)
  5. USS North Carolina ACR-12 Covers Page 5     (Ship Postcards)
  6. USS Charlotte CA-12 Covers Page 1     (1920-21)

 

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.
