Washington's Birthday. This marking has not tied the stamps to the cover. There is no postmark ink showing through so these stamps were precancelled and then applied to the envelope.

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.

    New York Class Battleship
    Keel Laid 17 April 1911 - Launched 18 May 1912

  1. USS TEXAS Battleship No. 35
  2. Commissioned 12 March 1914

  3. USS TEXAS BB-35
  4. Designated (BB) 17 July 1920
    Decommissioned 21 April 1948

    Struck from Naval Register 21 April 1948
    Preserved as memorial at La Porte, TX

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 Texas BB-35 Covers Page 1    (1915-1932)
  2. USS Texas BB-35 Covers Page 2    (1933-1946)

 

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.
