These destroyers were the backbone of the pre-war US Navy Patrols and participating in every major campaign of the war. These ships have performed a variety of missions from escorting convoys across the Atlantic. They were also tasked with bombardment of hostile coast lines, escorting, patrolling and rescuing downed fliers or survivors. Many were involved in well known battles throughout the war. Many were in service during the Korean Conflict and early in the Vietnam War. Some of these ships were sold to allied navies in the 1950s and 1960s. They served into the 1960s with the US Navy and longer for other navies.
