The Clemson class was a series of 156 destroyers, with six more cancelled, built at the end of the First World War, most of which served with the United States Navy from after that war and through the Second World War. The ships were commissioned from 1919 to 1922 by a group of builders that included Newport News, New York Shipbuilding, Cramp, Bethlehem, Mare Island, Norfolk Navy Yard and Bath Iron Works, some of them built very quickly. The class was a minor redesign of the Wickes class for greater fuel capacity and the last pre-Second World War class of flush-deck destroyers built for the United States. Until the Fletcher class, the Clemsons were the most numerous destroyers commissioned by the Navy, and they were known as flush-deckers, four-stackers and four-pipers. Bath Iron Works in Maine built three of them, Preble, Sicard and Pruitt.
