USS Borie (DD-215)
USS ''Borie'' (DD-215) was a ''Clemson''-class destroyer in the United States Navy during World War II. She was the first ship named for Ulysses S. Grant's Secretary of the Navy, Adolph E. Borie. She served in the Black Sea, the Asiatic Fleet and the Caribbean between the wars, and in the Battle of the Atlantic, the long campaign to protect Allied shipping from German U-boats during World War II. As part of the antisubmarine Hunter-killer Group unit Task Group 21.14, the crew earned a Presidential Unit Citation for its "extraordinary performance." ''Borie'' also earned distinction in her final battle with in November 1943, and was sunk by friendly forces due to damage sustained by ramming the surfaced U-boat and engaging her crew with small arms fire.

''Borie'' was launched on 4 October 1919, by William Cramp and Sons; sponsored by Patty Borie, great-grandniece of Secretary Borie; and commissioned 24 March 1920, Lieutenant Commander E. F. Clement in command.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=USS Borie (DD-215) )〕
As a typical "flush decker," ''Borie'' was armed with four 4 inch (102 mm) deck guns, one 3 inch (76 mm) antiaircraft (AA) gun, six .30-cal. (7.62 mm) machine guns, and twelve 21" (533 mm) torpedo tubes in four triple mounts, two mounts on each side. She was also fitted with depth charges and sonar for use against submarines. Her top speed was 35 knots (65 km/h).
Due to the heat in the tropics, it was customary for crewmen to sleep on the open decks of their ships, to be cooled by the breeze. The "flush deckers" often sported canvas awnings over their decks for this purpose.
