USS Manley (DD-74)

''Manley'' was laid down on 22 August 1916 by the Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine; launched on 23 August 1917; sponsored by Miss Dorothy S. Sewall; and commissioned on 15 October 1917, Commander Robert L. Berry in command. She was redesignated DD-74 on 17 July 1920.
==World War I==
After fitting out in Boston Navy Yard, ''Manley'' sailed in company with Battleship Division Nine on 25 November 1917 to join the convoy escort and patrol forces based at Queenstown, Ireland. On the morning of 19 March 1918, while ''Manley'' escorted a convoy, she rolled against the British auxiliary cruiser HMS ''Motagua'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】Casualties of the United States Navy and Coast Guard )〕 which caused the accidental detonation of ''Manley's'' depth charges. Her stern was practically destroyed, and 33 enlisted men as well as her executive officer, Lt. Comdr. Richard M. Elliot Jr., were killed in the subsequent explosion. Fragments pierced two 50-gallon drums of gasoline and two tanks containing 100 gallons of alcohol. The leaking fluids caught fire as they ran along the deck and enveloped the ship in flames which were not extinguished until late that night.
Then the Aubretia class sloop HMS ''Tamarisk'' edged up to the shattered destroyer and unsuccessfully tried to put a towline on board. ''Manley'' remained adrift until British tugs ''Blazer'' and ''Cartmel'' took her in tow after daylight on 20 March. She reached Queenstown at dusk the following day with more than 70 feet of her hull awash or completely under water.
