Sampson class destroyer

Sampson class destroyer

The "Sampson"-class destroyers served in the United States Navy during World War I. Commissioned in 1916 and 1917, the class was a slight deviation on the "O'Brien"-class and "Tucker"-class. They had 12 of the 21 inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes.

History

Most of the ships of the Sampson class served in World War I along with service in the United States Coast Guard as part of the Rum Patrol. While the other ships of the Sampson class were retired and scrapped in the 1930's, the USS "Allen" survived into the 1940s and served through World War II before being decommissioned and scrapped.
