USS Howard (DD-179)
USS ''Howard'' (DD–179) was a ''Wickes'' class destroyer in the United States Navy during World War II. She was named for Charles W. Howard, who was killed in the Civil War aboard USS ''New Ironsides''.
''Howard'' was launched by Union Iron Works San Francisco, California, 26 April 1919; sponsored by Marion Filmer, and commissioned 29 January 1920 at Mare Island, with Commander B. M. Stewart in command.
==Service history==
''Howard'' departed San Francisco on 1 March 1920 to join the Pacific Destroyer force at San Diego, California. After initial tactical maneuvers and gunnery training, she departed San Diego on 3 May for Topolobampo, Mexico. She rejoined her destroyer flotilla on 17 May to participate in intensive and prolonged operations in the San Diego area, including torpedo practice, patrol, battle practices, and exercises with submarines. ''Howard'' decommissioned on 27 May 1922.
Recommissioned 29 August 1940, ''Howard'' was converted to a minesweeper and reclassified DMS-7. She sailed from San Diego in mid October, arrived at Norfolk, Virginia, on the 29th, and proceeded on 19 November for duty in the Caribbean. She remained there until 17 May 1941 conducting minesweeping assignments and patrol duty enforcing the Neutrality Act. ''Howard'' returned to Norfolk on 19 May and participated in exercises along the Chesapeake Bay until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 plunged the United States into World War II.
