These destroyers were based on the previous Gridley class but had the power plants of the older Mahan class making them slower than the Gridleys.

All 8 of them were located at Pearl Harbor on 7 Dec 1941 as Destroyer Squadron Four. They fought throughout the war in the Pacific and were scrapped after the war in 1946 and 1947.
