Beck’s Cover Log shows #843 was originally scheduled for USS Nashville LPD-13,
 commissioning on 14 February 1970.

Beck’s log book does not show a quantity for cover 843, but given the covers
near that series, the approximate quantity is about 350 covers.

There could have been some lack of information about the actual planned date for the
commissioning of the Nashville because Beck’s log shows “not sent” which means that
he probably didn’t have time to produce the covers and send them. 
Note that #842 was postmarked in May of 1970.

Link to Beck’s Cover Printing Log

Also, in Beck’s Cover Printing Log, #843 is crossed out and “Nimitz CVAN 68” is written in. 

The final 843 cover was for the Nimitz class aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower
CVAN-69 Keel laying on August 15, 1970.  At the time (early 1970) the actual name of
CVAN-69 wasn’t even known.  The events and results make sense with the timing.

850 USS Reasoner DE-1063

Planned for Reasoner
but never serviced for
original event.

  

Number produced: 
Beck's log
 shows "not sent"

 

 
The above cover submitted by Paul Huber of Fairwinds was used for the
decommission of the Reasoner in 1993.  A collector probably had the 20+ year
 old Unserviced envelope saved for the decommission.
 


Larry Johnson found this unserviced envelope. Note that the seal is
missing in the cachet. Added 4/2018


Scan submitted by Charlie Hamilton.
This cover is postmarked for the decommissioning in 1993, over 20 years after
Beck printed the cover.

851 USS Peleliu LHA-5

Not serviced

Number produced: 491

 Scan not available.
No examples observed.

Les Winick's 1995 Beck Handbook lists #851 as USS Peleliu.

The contract to build USS  Peleliu was given in 1970. 
The KL was in 1976. (The Peleliu was originally named USS Da Nang).

There is a possible change of contract or name that made the 851 cover obsolete.
It was never serviced or returned.

This scan was sent to us by Dr. Ross Smith.  Prior to seeing this scan,
it wasn't verified that a CREW cover existed for this ship for Apollo 14.
As Dr. Smith said, "it might not be a pretty cover but I am VERY happy
to have found it."

Another mystery was solved  when this cover was identified.  There are many
Beck CREW covers that haven't been found yet.  We know From Mr. Beck that he
sent the printed envelopes without the cachet number (CREW) to the ships for
space events.  What happened to some of them is a mystery.  Another mystery
recently solved was for 880 Ticonderoga.

Beck's log
shows "not sent"

This cover is a mystery because Beck's log shows B867 as "not sent". 
The cover shown above is a possible suspect or back dated cover. 

The ship was commissioned October 30, 1971.

This is the only commissioning cover we have seen.

Fake Cancel on Genuine Beck Cachet.   See August 2008 USCS Log for more
information.  The Hand Cancel from Pascagoula, MS is FAKE.

Rich compiled and presented information on Fake and Fraudulent Naval Covers.
 
The cover shown at bottom right is a sample of a Fake cancel on a genuine Beck.


Somehow a dealer/collector obtained unserviced envelopes from Mr. Beck
and applied the fake cancel. That person was expelled from the USCS.


Scan courtesy of Rich Hoffner

The correct cancel for this  event is a machine cancel. 

This is the only Beck cover that we have observed with a FAKE cancel for this event.
 There are likely others.

Again, thanks goes to USCS Member Rich Hoffner for researching and reporting
 this information.

The following information was revised January 10, 2011 to remove the reference
 that this cover was cancelled on the FDOI of the space achievements stamps.

This interesting cover with two cancellations has the Space Achievement Stamps
that were issued by the USPS on August 2, 1971.

The cover above might be one-of-a-kind. It was sold on eBay in April 2007 for nearly
 $50.  Courtesy RJI Philatelics. 

See Ray Cartier's book for more information.  According to Cartier's book,
these stamps were flown to the Okinawa and were used on the Captain's covers.

CREW cover.  Beck 880 cachet with out printed number is a crew cover.
Added June 2008

Number produced: Beck's printing log states "missed count on these" 
For years, we have watched for an example or scan of this cover. 
It is one of the few covers that we couldn't find but believed it had to exist. 
Don Hensley a non-collector found our Web site while researching his covers. 
He wrote us saying that his uncle was a postal clerk on the Ticonderoga during the
 Apollo 16 flight and was on board during the recovery. 

His uncle, now deceased, apparently got a hold of some or most of the CREW
covers that Beck sent for this event.  Don sent us scans of over a dozen
different 880 CREW covers from the Ticonderoga with the HAND CANCEL.

Another example of the 880 below:

Scan courtesy of Dr. Ross Smith. Also see similar cover for Beck 881.

The Navy imposed a two  cover per collector limit on space flights.  If a collector
sent more than two envelopes the Navy returned the covers to the collector in a separate
envelope.  This explains why we see some space covers with stamps and not serviced.
 

Beck's printing log does not indicate a quantity for Apollo 16. He wrote a note in the printing log
saying "Missed Counts on these" He must have printed an excess number of covers for
a special request or dealer because of the numerous covers postmarked in various cities.
 

Any difference in the color of the cachets is due to the scans.

the corner card of the previously unlisted Beck cover for USS Alacrity. 
We've seen this corner card on Navy RS cachets, but this is the first on a B881.
Take a look at the other Beck covers from Apollo 16 mission and it is
clear that Beck supplied the cached envelopes to one or more dealers or collectors.

We do know that most cancels for this flight were applied in Hawaii.  Most
cancels applied were the wavy line cancel. 

VERY few covers have the USS New Orleans cancel with the solid lines. 

It is not known if the solid line cancels were applied in Hawaii or actually
on board the ship. 

It is likely that the solid line cancel WAS on board the ship. 
In any case, the SOLID line cancel is the cancel seldom seen.

Only a few covers with the solid line cancellation on a numbered
Beck cachet 896 observed by us.

This is NOT a CREW cover because it has the Beck printed cachet number.


Scan courtesy of Andre Gutmann of Germany


This is an error cover missing the RED color.  Note that the Beck number
B896 was printed in RED.  Colors are not correct due to photo/scan.
 


Another example of the cover with the missing red color.

This CREW cover is listed under B896 because 896 is the first usage for this
cachet and the USS New Orleans.


Scan courtesy of Martin S Rasmussen

We do know that most cancels for this flight were applied in Hawaii.  Most
cancels applied were the wavy line cancel. 

VERY few covers have the USS New Orleans cancel with the solid lines. 
It is not known if the solid line cancels were applied in Hawaii or actually
on board the ship. 

It is likely that the solid line cancel WAS on board the ship. 
In any case, the SOLID line cancel is the cancel seldom seen.

The difference in the color of the cachet in these examples is due to the scans.

This Skylab cover has an interesting bar slug to strike the 3c Liberty stamp.
Since these covers were not cancelled aboard a US Navy ship, this slug
must have been applied by the USPS. Added 3/2018
