USS McCall (DD-28)

USS McCall (DD-28)

The first USS "McCall" (DD-28) was a Sclass|Paulding|destroyer in the United States Navy during World War I and later in the United States Coast Guard, designated CG-14. She was named for Edward McCall.

"McCall" was laid down 8 June 1909 by the New York Shipbuilding Company, Camden, New Jersey; launched 4 June 1910; sponsored by Miss Jessie Willits; and commissioned 23 January 1911, Lieutenant Commander J. T. Tomkins in command.

Attached to the Torpedo Flotilla, Atlantic Fleet, "McCall" operated along the Atlantic coast, principally out of Newport, Rhode Island, and in the Chesapeake Bay area. Each winter found her with the fleet in Cuban waters for maneuvers.

In 1916 "McCall" made neutrality patrols off New York and along the New England coast. On 14 June 1917, following overhaul at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she steamed to New York to escort a troop convoy to Europe. The torpedo boat destroyer continued to perform escort duties in the western Atlantic until January 1918 when she sailed for Queenstown, Ireland. Arriving there 22 February, she provided escort and rescue services until 16 December.

Upon return to the United States in January 1919 she resumed east coast operations until decommissioning at Philadelphia 12 December 1919.

In reserve for the next four and a half years, she was transferred to the United States Coast Guard 7 June 1924. Stationed at New London, Connecticut, she was part of the Rum Patrol.

She was returned to the Navy 18 October 1930 and was scrapped and sold 2 May 1934, in accordance with the terms of the London Treaty for Naval Disarmament.
