Survey of Current U.S. Navy Postmarks

In August 2004, the USCS Board of Directors reasserted the need for an annual survey to obtain sample postmarks from all U.S. Navy ships. Paul Bunter, USCS 11072, volunteered to take on this task. The Postmark Survey is usually sent out in early September to all U.S. Navy ships known / suspected to have a post office.
