Description

You are bidding on a computer designed/printed Greytcovers by W.J. Wladyka (USCS #9915) naval cover (design #97)(#10 of 10 ) commemorating the decommissioning of the USS Arthur W. Radford DD-968.
USS Arthur W. Radford (DD-968) was
a
Spruance-class destroyer
in the United States Navy. She was named for Admiral Arthur W. Radford USN (1896–1973), the first naval officer to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Arthur W. Radford was laid down 31 January 1974 by the Ingalls Shipbuilding Division of Litton Industries at Pascagoula, Mississippi and launched on 1 March 1975, sponsored by Mrs. Arthur Radford, the admiral's widow. Arthur W. Radford was commissioned on 16 April 1977, and decommissioned on 20 March 2003, after serving 26 years. On 10 August 2011, her hull was scuttled off the coast of Delaware, to form part of an artificial reef.
The cover is cancelled with a well-struck pictorial postmark on 20 March 2003 at Norfolk, VA 23511 and is franked with a 37c Flag stamp.
Overall cover condition is very good. The cover is a standard No. 6-3/4, 3-5/8 x 6-1/2". The blue around the edge is part of the background.
I accept PAYPAL.
