USS Murray (DD-97)

USS Murray (DD-97)

The second USS "Murray" (DD-97) was a "Wickes"-class destroyer in the United States Navy during World War I. She was named for Commodore Alexander Murray and Commodore Murray's grandson, Alexander Murray.

History

"Murray" was laid down 22 December 1917 by Fore River Shipbuilding Corporation, Quincy, Massachusetts; launched 8 June 1918; sponsored by Miss Alice S. Guthrie; and commissioned at Boston 21 August 1918, Lieutenant Commander R. G. Walling in command.

During her 4 years of operations along the East Coast and in the Caribbean with the Atlantic Fleet, "Murray" aided in postwar development of antisubmarine and mine warfare techniques. She was reclassified to a light minelayer (DM-2) 17 July 1920, and received alterations necessary to her new role. She decommissioned at Philadelphia 1 July 1922, and lay there in reserve until stricken from the Navy list 7 January 1936. She was sold for scrapping 29 September 1936 to Schiavone-Bonomo Corporation, New York City.
