The first USS ''Swasey'' (DD-273) was a ''Clemson''-class destroyer in the United States Navy and transferred to the Royal Navy as HMS ''Rockingham'' (G58). ==USS Swasey== Named for Charles Swasey, ''Swasey'' was laid down on 27 August 1918 by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation, Squantum, Massachusetts; launched on 7 May 1919; sponsored by Ms. Mary L. Swasey; and commissioned on 8 August 1919. ''Swasey'' was assigned to the Pacific Fleet and, after completing fitting out and sailing to the west coast, arrived at Pearl Harbor in the fall of 1919. She served there until the summer of 1922 when she returned to San Diego, California. ''Swasey'' was decommissioned at San Diego on 10 June 1922 and assigned to the reserve fleet for the next 17 years. ''Swasey'' was reactivated on 18 December 1939 and — after an overhaul and sea trials — transferred to Britain on 26 November 1940 under the Destroyers for Bases Agreement. ''Swasey'' was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 8 January 1941. 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 Swasey (DD-273)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
