1992 06 15 - Indian Island Naval Weapons Station WA - USS PLEDGE (MSO 492) - cancelled aboard CVN-70

The Universal Ship Cancellation Society (USCS) is an international philatelic organization founded in 1932 promoting the study of the history of ships, their postal markings and postal documentation of events involving the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Merchant Marine, and other Navy and maritime organizations of the world.

 

Collectors may be interested in the ship, its postmark, the cachet that occasionally appears on the envelope, special markings used by the ship or postal service, and, of course, the stamp. Collectors also focus on specific ports, countries, actions, types of ships, activities, special markings (such as censor's marks or air mail markings) and other information.

 

The USCS is offering a special one-year $10 new membership offer. New members will receive the monthly award winning 32-page USCS Log with great articles on naval/maritime history featuring covers & photos along with other benefits. www.uscs.org/join-uscs/

 

You can find the Society's webpage at www.uscs.org, and the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/groups/uscsnavalcovers/ .
