USS ''Hunt'' (DD-194) was a ''Clemson''-class destroyer in the United States Navy during World War II. She served in the United States Coast Guard, as USCGD ''Hunt'' (CG-18). She was later transferred to the Royal Navy as HMS ''Broadway'' (H90). ==History== The first Navy ship named after Secretary of the Navy William H. Hunt (1823–1884), ''Hunt'' was launched by the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company, Newport News, Virginia, 14 February 1920; sponsored by Miss Virginia Livingston Hunt; and commissioned 30 September 1920, Lieutenant Roswell H. Blair in command. After shakedown, ''Hunt'' participated in training and readiness exercises with the Atlantic Fleet and conducted torpedo trials on the range out of Newport, Rhode Island. She shifted her base of operations to Charleston, South Carolina, 3 December 1920. Sailing from Charleston Harbor 29 May 1922, she entered the Philadelphia Navy Yard 6 June and decommissioned there 11 August 1922. From 13 September 1930 to 28 May 1934 the U.S. Coast Guard had custody of the ship. ''Hunt'' served as part of the Rum Patrol. After being recommissioned at Philadelphia, ''Hunt'' departed on 26 January 1940 for Neutrality patrol in the Caribbean Sea. She left Panama Canal 3 April to escort submarine ''Searaven'' to Cape Canaveral and then engaged in gunnery practice in Cuban waters en route to Norfolk, Virginia arriving 17 April 1940. The next few months were devoted to maneuvers in Chesapeake Bay and training cruises down the eastern seaboard. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USS Hunt (DD-194)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
