USS ''Herbert'' (DD-160) was a ''Wickes''-class destroyer. She was named for Hilary A. Herbert (1834–1919), Secretary of the Navy from 1893 to 1897. ''Herbert'' was laid down by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation at Camden in New Jersey on 9 April 1918, launched on 8 May 1919 by Mrs. Benjamin Micou, daughter of the late Hilary A. Herbert and commissioned on 21 November 1919, Lieutenant Commander E. A. Logan in command. ==Service history== After shakedown in South Atlantic waters, ''Herbert'' trained in the Caribbean until 1 May 1920, returning there 20 July with the Atlantic Fleet destroyer squadron. ''Herbert'' participated in torpedo practices, antiaircraft drills, and short range battle practice along the east coast. She decommissioned at Philadelphia 27 June 1922. ''Herbert'' recommissioned 1 May 1930 and joined the Scouting Fleet at Newport, Rhode Island. For the next 4 years she operated in both East and West Coast waters, playing important roles in annual fleet problems and battle practice. From 16 January 1935 until August 1939, ''Herbert'' served as a training ship for Naval Reserves and midshipmen. As war swept across Europe, she sailed to Portugal via the Azores 2 October 1939 and remained there until July 1940. Returning to the States, the destroyer underwent overhaul and 10 October reported to New London for sound school training. ''Herbert''s training kept pace with the steadily intensifying war in Europe as she spent most of 1941 in battle practice, torpedo drills, and antisubmarine work. 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 Herbert (DD-160)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
