Sampson-class destroyer
The ''Sampson''-class destroyers served in the United States Navy during World War I.
Commissioned in 1916 and 1917, the class was a modification of the ''O'Brien''-class and ''Tucker''-class, with the number of 21 inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes increased from four twin-mounts to four triple-mounts. The ''Sampson''s were the final six ships of the 26 "thousand tonner" destroyers. They were the largest and most heavily armed of the "thousand tonners", and the subsequent "flush deck" classes differed mainly in hull design and the engineering plant.
==Armament==
While the gun armament was typical for destroyers of this period, the torpedo armament of 12 x 21" torpedo tubes was a significant increase over the preceding ''Tucker'' class, replacing four twin mounts with four triple mounts. Both the gun and torpedo armament would remain standard through the mass-production "flush-deck" ''Wickes'' and ''Clemson'' classes commissioned through 1921. As with the other "thousand tonners", a factor in the size of the torpedo armament was the General Board's decision to use broadside rather than centerline torpedo tubes.〔Friedman, p. 24,34〕 This was due to the desire to have some torpedoes remaining after firing a broadside, and problems experienced with centerline mounts on previous classes with torpedoes striking the gunwales of the firing ship.〔Friedman, p. 24〕 The Mark 8 torpedo was equipped.
This was the first US destroyer class to mount anti-aircraft guns: two 1 pounder (37 mm) autocannons. Anti-submarine (ASW) armament was added during World War I. Typically, a single depth charge track was provided aft, along with a Y-gun depth charge projector.〔Friedman, p. 45〕
