    Description

    You are bidding on a computer designed/printed Greytcovers by W.J. Wladyka (USCS #9915) naval cover (design #334)(#3 of 11 ) commemorating the 5th anniversary of the commissioning of the USS Hawaii SSN-776.
    USS Hawaii (SSN-776), a Virginia-class submarine, is the first commissioned warship of the United States Navy to be named for the 50th state. The contract to build her was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton, Connecticut on 30 September 1998 and her keel was laid down on 27 August 2004. She was christened on 17 June 2006 by her sponsor, Governor Linda Lingle of Hawaii. Electric Boat delivered Hawaii to the US Navy on 22 December 2006, ahead of schedule. She was commissioned on 5 May 2007 with Captain David A. Solms in command. In August 2007, Commander Edward Herrington assumed command. In July 2009, she changed home port from Groton, CT to Pearl Harbor, HI.
    The cover is cancelled with a well-struck pictorial postmark on 5 May 2012 at Honolulu, HI 96818 and is franked with a Forever 'Statue of Liberty' 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.
