Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on May 30, 2009.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the first class of United States Navy destroyers were designated torpedo boat destroyers?

Destroyer escorts

[edit]

Removed Dealey class destroyer escorts. Don't know why they were here but I wound up duping some info.  RasputinAXP  talk * contribs 05:48, 9 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Huh. Removed Claud Jones class DE's too.  RasputinAXP  talk * contribs 05:07, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dates?

[edit]

Do the dates indicated when the ships were manufactured or when they were in active service? --Jfruh (talk) 18:40, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is resolved on the latest version. First column is first keel laid down; second is last ship commissioned. mynameinc (t|c|o|r) 20:06, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

false

[edit]

"by the end of World War II, the U.S. Navy had also commissioned 112 six-gun destroyers derived from the Fletcher design; 67 Allen M. Sumner class 2200 tonners and 45 Gearing class 2250 tonners." data for Gearings it's false only a few were commisioned by the end of war and none gone in combat in WWII

Crew size?

[edit]

What was the typical crew size of WWII and "between the wars" destroyers? Thanks. Charvex (talk) 07:30, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Troublesome second sentence.

[edit]

Hello. When first reading the article I found this sentence..."In 1898, while the Spanish–American War was being fought in the Caribbean and the Pacific, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt wrote that torpedo boats were the only threat to the American navy, and pushed for the acquisition of torpedo boat destroyers."...from the opening paragraph somewhat troublesome. Here's why: TR resigned as Asst. Navy Sec. on 25 April 1898, the same day Congress reciprocated Spains declaration of war. Anything he wrote about torpedo boats during the war would have been as Lt. Col. Roosevelt U.S. Army Volunteers, not still as A.S.o.N. or perhaps he wrote about them and lobbied Congrees for torpedo boat destroyers in the weeks prior to the declaration of war. Either way the statement seems to be incorrect as written. Some sourcing for it would be nice. Sector001 (talk) 15:32, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
