The Clemson class was a series of 156 destroyers which served with the United States Navy from after World War I through World War II.

The Clemson class ships were commissioned by the United States Navy from 1919 to 1922, built by Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company, New York Shipbuilding Corporation, William Cramp and Sons, Bethlehem Steel Corporation, Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Norfolk Naval Shipyard and Bath Iron Works, some with alarming speed. The Clemson class was a redesign of the Wickes class, and was the last pre-WWII class of flush-decker destroyers to be built for the United States. Until the Fletcher class destroyer, the Clemsons were the most numerous class of destroyers commissioned in the United States Navy, and were known colloquially as "four-stackers" or "four-pipers".

History

Fourteen ships of the class were involved in the Honda Point Disaster in 1923, of which seven were lost.

Most never saw wartime service, as many were decommissioned in 1930 and scrapped as part of the London Naval Treaty.

Elevated view of USS Lamson (DD-328).

Nineteen were transferred to the Royal Navy in 1940 as part of the Destroyers for Bases Agreement where they became part of the Town class. Others were upgraded or converted to highspeed transports or seaplane tenders and served through World War II.

Most ships remaining in service during World War II were rearmed with dual-purpose 3"/50 caliber guns to provide better anti-aircraft protection.[2] The AVD seaplane tender conversions received 2 guns; the APD transport, DM minelayer, and DMS minesweeper conversions received 3 guns, and those retaining destroyer classification received 6.[3] Their original low-angle 4"/50 caliber guns (Mark 9) were transferred to Defensively Equipped Merchant Ships for anti-submarine protection.[4] For the ships converted to minesweepers, the twelve 21-inch (530 mm) torpedo tubes were replaced by minesweeping gear.[5]
