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.

    Clemson Class Destroyer
    Keel Laid July 31 1918 - Launched March 30 1920
     
  1. USS McFARLAND DD-237
    Commissioned September 30 1920 - Decommissioned January 30 1931
    Recommissioned June 13 1932 - Decommissioned June 10 1935
    Reclassified Sea Plane Tender-Destroyer (AVD) August 2 1940 while in reserve

  2. USS McFARLAND AVD-14
    Recommissioned October 5 1940

  3. USS McFARLAND DD-237
    Reverted to Destroyer (DD) December 1 1943
    Planed conversion to High-speed Transport APD-26 Cancelled July 10 1944
    Decommissioned November 8 1945

    Struck from Naval Register December 19 1945
    Sold October 29 1946 and broken up 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. Covers Page 1    (1924-42)

 

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.
