I found out today that postmark was arranged. The officer was allowed to send five letters to be postmarked with that special stamp, on the day the ship was destroyed in the atomic bomb test at Bikini. The letter said he was on his way home if he was allowed, as there had been some turbulence in the marriage. The letter also explained the special postmark but she had already ripped the end off.
