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.

    Anchorage Class Dock Landing Ship
    Keel Laid 28 January 1970 - Launched 17 April 1971

  1. USS MOUNT VERNON LSD-39
    Commissioned 13 May 1972 - Decommissioned 25 July 2003

    Laid up at the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility, Pearl Harbor, HI
    Struck from Naval Register 8 March 2004
    Sunk 16 June 2005 as a target during operation "Patrolling Thunder"
    off the Northwest coast of Kauai, HI

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 Mount Vernon LSD-39 Covers Page 1    (1972-2003)

 

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.
