USS ''Burrows'' (DD-29) was a modified in the United States Navy during World War I and later in the United States Coast Guard, designated (CG-10). She was the second ship named for Lieutenant William Ward Burrows II. ''Burrows'' was launched on 23 June 1910 by New York Shipbuilding Company, Camden, New Jersey, sponsored by Miss Lorna Dorthea Burrows, a relative of Lieutenant Burrows, and commissioned on 21 February 1911, with Lieutenant Julius F. Hellweg in command. ==United States Navy== Prior to World War I, ''Burrows'' was attached to the Torpedo Flotilla, Atlantic Fleet, and operated along the east coast and in Cuban waters, performing tactical maneuvers, war games, torpedo practice, and gunnery. Early in 1916, ''Burrows'' was assigned to the Neutrality Patrol in the Staten Island–Long Island area of New York. When the United States entered World War I, ''Burrows'' patrolled the Lower Harbor, New York. On 7 April 1917, she reported to Commander, Squadron 2, Patrol Force, and carried out an unfruitful search for a German raider reported in the vicinity of Nantucket, Massachusetts. On 10 April, she was detached from Squadron 2 and reported to Philadelphia Navy Yard, where she was fitted out for distant service. In June, she sailed from New York with Group 2, Cruiser and Transport Force, to escort the convoy which carried the first American Expeditionary Force to reach France. She arrived in the Loire River on 27 June 1917, and was assigned to patrol the south coast of Ireland, operating out of Queenstown, Ireland. ''Burrows'' patrolled; escorted convoys; answered Allied distress calls; landed survivors; and fought enemy submarines that hunted in the English Channel. On one occasion, she was in trouble with a broken oil line, which caused a fire on board. Four other destroyers assisted her in putting it out, but two crew members lost their lives. With the cessation of hostilities, she performed various duties at Brest, France, and was present at the reception of President Woodrow Wilson on 13 December 1918, when and escort arrived. ''Burrows'' arrived at Philadelphia on 2 January 1919. She operated along the eastern seaboard for several months, and in June reported to Philadelphia Navy Yard. ''Burrows'' was decommissioned on 12 December 1919. 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 Burrows (DD-29)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
