USS ''Montgomery'' (DD–121) was a ''Wickes'' class destroyer in the United States Navy during World War I, later reclassified DM-17. She was the fifth ship named for Major General Richard Montgomery. ''Montgomery'' was built by Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company, launched 23 March 1918; sponsored by Mrs. Andrew Jones, a descendent of Major General Montgomery; and commissioned 26 July 1918, Lieutenant Commander W. R. Purnell in command. ==Service history== Following an east coast shakedown, ''Montgomery'' left Hampton Roads 25 August 1918 for her first antisubmarine patrol, alternating such patrols with coastal escort duty until the close of World War I. She conducted training and fleet maneuvers from Maine to Cuba until 19 July 1919, when she departed Hampton Roads for west coast duty. ''Montgomery'' arrived at San Diego 7 August to join Destroyer Squadron 4, Pacific Fleet. For the next 3 1⁄2 years she took part in fleet operations from Alaska to Panama, then on 17 March 1922 began inactivation at San Diego, where she decommissioned 6 June 1922. Redesignated DM-17, 5 January 1931, ''Montgomery'' was converted to a light minelayer and recommissioned 20 August 1931. In December she sailed to Pearl Harbor, her base until 14 June 1937, when she returned to San Diego, there to decommission 7 December 1937 and go into reserve. 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 Montgomery (DD-121)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
