1,4 A4 N Joshua Barney was a man of extraordi- nary talents whose naval career symbolized bravery and perseverance. He was only fifteen years old when he assumed his first command while enroute to the Mediterranean. He had several commands during the Revolutionary War after which he served as a courier for Benjamin Franklin. Joshua Barney servedwith distinction as a Co mmodo r e in the French Navy for six years before returning to the United States shortly after the outbreak of the War of 1812. When the British made their land invasion Barney led his sailors and marines ashore to Bladensburg where they formed the brunt of the American defense on 24 August 1814. The guided missile destroyer USS BARNEY QDDG-65 is the third ship of the Navy to be named in honor of this gallant and patri- otic sailor.

Her keel was laid 26 March 1918 and she was launched on 5 September 1918, under the sponsorship of Mi s s Nan- nie Dornin Barney, great-granddaughter of Commodore Barney. The d e s t r o y e r was placed in commission at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 14 March 1919. She had a length overall of 314 feet 5 inches, extreme beam, 31 feet 8 inches, normal displace- ment of 1,154 tons, mean draft, 9 feet 2 inches, designed speed, 35 knots, and a de- signed complement of 6 officers and 95 men. Her original armament was four 4-inch .53 caliber guns, two 3-inch .23 cal- iber guns, two .30 caliber machine guns, and twelve 21-inch torpedo tubes in triple mounts. BARNEY III USS Barney QDDG-65 is the thirdship of the fleet to be named in honor of Com- modore Joshua Barney, USN. She was one of the first ships designed from the keel up as guided missile destroyers. Built by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation, Cam- den, New Jersey, her keel was laid on 18 May 1959. She was christened on 10 De- cember 1960 by her sponsor Mrs. Harry D. Wortman. Barney has an overall length of 431 feet, a beam of 47 feet and a displacement of 4,500 tons, and is usually manned by about 319 enlisted men. Considerably larger than the destroy- ers we have known in the past, Barney is still a fast, highly maneuverable destroyer. Her automatic combustion control power plant is one of the newest to be installed in destroyers, enabling her to carry out any task assigned her with great speed and mo- bility. In addition, she possesses anti-air warfare and anti-submarine capabilities that are infinitely greater than those of previous classes of destroyers. Her arma- ment includes the TARTAR guided missile weapons system, anti - submarine torpedoes, and a 5 inch 54 caliber dual purpose gun battery. She is equipped with the most mod- ern communications and electronics and is capable of detecting, tracking and deliver- ing rapid salvos of missiles and projectiles against enemy targets, be they in the air, on the sea, under the sea, or on land. Her entry into service marked another major stride forward in the program of providing the United States Navy with advanced types of warships to enable it to meet the chal- lenges of today and tomorrow.
