Recovery of Apollo 10 - Cancelled on USS Chipola (AO-63) of the Recovery Force
Cover canceled on May 26, 1969, on the day the USS Princeton plucked the Apollo 10 crew from the Pacific Ocean after they returned to Earth from a successful moon orbit mission. The unaddressed cover is stamped with the 3 cent Shipbuilding stamp (Scott #1095) and the 3 cent Lewis and Clark stamp (Scott #1063).
The cover was canceled aboard the Oiler U.S.S. Chipola (AO-63) with a Type 2t(n+u) (C-46c) cancel (Locy System - Catalog of United States Naval Postmarks (David A. Kent, ed.)). The U.S.S. Chipola was serving at the time as part of the Pacific Fleet assigned to Vietnam.
