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.

USS GAMBLE Destroyer No. 123
Commissioned 29 November 1918
USS GAMBLE DD-123
Designated (DD) 17 July 1920
Decommissioned 17 June 1922
Recommissioned 24 May 1930
USS GAMBLE DM-15
Converted to Stribling Class Light Minelayer (DM) 13 June 1930
Decommissioned 22 December 1937
Recommissioned 25 September 1939
Irreparably damaged by Japanese aircraft off Iwo Jima 17 February 1945
5 of her crew were lost and remain on duty

Scuttled 16 July 1945 off Guam

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.

USS Gamble DM-15 Covers Page 1 (1933-44)

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.
