About the ship
The U.S. Navy needed ships that could operate together with the ocean line fleet anywhere in the world and act as scouts for squadrons. This resulted in the introduction of long-range, low-silhouette destroyers. The most advanced series was represented by the six Sampson-class ships. The lead ship became part of a detachment of American ships operating in Europe and was used to escort convoys until the end of World War I.
