Two major events shaped the beginnings of the destroyer. The first was the advent of the torpedo boat. These swift craft were able to dash in close to larger ships, loose their torpedoes, and dash away. They proved their devastating effectiveness in the Chilean Civil War of 1894 and in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. The U.S. Navy first faced a destroyer in the Spanish-American War. Our Navy, realizing that had these destroyers had better handling and could have inflicted serious damage, sent out orders to speed the American destroyer program, then in its infancy. The first U.S. destroyer was USS Bainbridge (DD 1), launched on August 27, 1901, and placed in full commission on December 23, 1903. During World War I, Bainbridge served on patrol and convoy duty in the Atlantic. Dramatic history of the first 60 years of the destroyer: the reliable, versatile fighting ships of the U.S. Navy fondly called the "Greyhounds of the Sea." Covers the early years, beginning with the Bainbridge in 1902, and moves on to wartime in the Atlantic and Pacific, the Cold War, weaponry, and contemporary ships. Packed with 200 photos, including the sinking of the German U-boat U58 in 1917 by the USS Fanning and USS Nicholson, the explosion of the USS Shaw at Pearl Harbor in 1941, the USS Noa retrieving John Glenn from the Atlantic after his Mercury capsule had completed the first manned orbital flight in 1962, and destroyermen engaged in various activities on board their ships. Written by a journalist with 20 years in the U.S. Navy, including as a gunnery officer in all theaters of World War II.
