N/A			1933-02-22 Locy Type F "BIRTHDAY OF / WASHINGTON" USCS Postmark Catalog Illus. S-74
			Washington's Birthday USS S-19 SS-124

"Figure S-74 was produced by a collector who worked in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, and was used on covers sent to members of a local stamp club. It was used during 1932-33 for
numerous boats of the S-class, most of which were actually based at Pearl Harbor at the time. Both cancels (S-74 & S-75) indicate the submarine division to which the boat was
attached, noted as "Sub Div" in the listings. For convenience, these postmarks are listed under the boats in question. Both markings are very elusive." From the Paul Huber collection.

N/A			1932-12-09 Locy Type P "US SUB S 23 / SUB DIV 7" USCS Postmark Catalog Illus. S-75
			Washington's Birthday USS S-23 SS-128

"Figure S-75 is a standard Type 5hks cancel for the Submarine Detachment at Pearl Harbor; the mail clerk used wording similar to that shown for several boats there. The exact
arrangements of wording in the killer bars varies. The use of a ship's name in the killers technically would make this a Type P postmark if it had actually been used aboard the boat.
Both cancels (S-74 & S-75) indicate the submarine division to which the boat was attached, noted as "Sub Div" in the listings. For convenience, these postmarks are listed under the
boats in question. Both markings are very elusive."
