U55 ixmlsmm ms SHIPS HI S TOR Y The decision to give the name ANNAPOLIS to the Navy's first Communi- cations Major Relay Ship came from a suggestion which emanated from the office of the Director of Naval Communications. The naming of the first AGMR after the city of Annapolis commemorates the establishment of one of the Navy's first wireless', stations there in 1902. In addition, Annapolis today is the site of the Navy's oldest existing radio station which is currently providing the transmitter facilities for the Naval Communications Station in Washington, C D.. The AGMR-1 is the third ship to bear the name Annapolis. The first ANNAP- OLIS was a gun boat commissioned in 1895 which served with distinction in the Spanish-American War and later with the Asiatic Fleet, as a training ship at the Naval Academy, and on patrol in Mexico and Central American waters before being decommissioned in 1919. The second ANNAPOLIS was a palm! friglgte, commissioned in December, 1944, which served as a convoy escort ship ma in co ' - 9 n'U0y TU726' tO Algeria and later being attached to the Pacific Fleet where she was decommissioned in 1946' and sold to Mexico.
