''Long'' was laid down by the William Cramp and Sons at Philadelphia on 23 September 1918, launched on 26 April 1919 by Mrs. Arnold Knapp and commissioned on 20 October 1919, Commander A. B. Cook in command. ==Service history== After shakedown along the Atlantic coast, ''Long'' sailed late in the year for the Mediterranean. Assigned to Destroyer Division 26, she patrolled the Adriatic and Mediterranean and served as station ship before steaming to the Philippines early in 1921 for duty with Asiatic station. Based at Cavite, Luzon, she patrolled the South China Sea until July 1922 when she was ordered to the United States. ''Long'' decommissioned at San Diego, California, 30 December 1922. ''Long'' recommissioned at San Diego 29 March 1930, Lieutenant Commander William J. Butler in command. Operating out of San Diego during the next decade, ''Long'' cruised primarily in the Pacific off North and Central America for division exercises and screen and plane guard duty. Between 1933 and 1935 she twice entered the rotating Reserve as part of Destroyer Squadron 20. In 1940, she was converted to destroyer minesweeper, and reclassified DMS-12 on 19 November 1940. 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 Long (DD-209)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
