The name Barney has been a part of our Navy since before the Revolutionary War. Then it was Barney, the man, not one of the three ships later named in his honor. Joshua Barney was quite a man. When he was only 15 years old, he assumed his first command while en- route to the Mediterranean. He had several commands during the Revolution and after that war served as a Commodore in the French Navy for six years. It was during the War of 1812, however, that Joshua Barney left his mark in naval history. He led his sailors and marines ashore at Bladensburg and formed the bulwark of the American defense against the British land invasion. In size, from the little Torpedo Boat 25, to DD-149 to DDG-6 of today, Barney has grown by leaps and bounds, much like a healthy lad. The third USS BAR- NEY is almost three times as long as its Torpedo Boat grandfather, and boasts a beam over two-and-a- half times as great. The displacement tonnage is 27 times larger. Today's BARNEY requires about 340 officers and men to operate her, as opposed to its 1919 destroyer dad's 101, and the 1900 grand- dad's 29. A, f-Nw I l 4-A

This ship was one of the first designed from keel up as a guided missile destroyer. The New York Ship- building Corporation, in Camden, New Jersey, laid the keel on 18 December 1959, and less than one year later, 10 December 1960, she was christened by her sponsor, Mrs. Harry D. Wortman. On 11 August 1962, the commissioning pennant was broken in appropriate ceremonies at Philadelphia. BARNEY is 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 mobility. Her anti-air warfare and anti- submarine capabilities are infinitely greater than those of previous classes of destroyers. The TARTAR guided missile weapons system, ASROC, torpedoes, and a 5-inch 54 caliber dual-purpose gun battery, coupled with the most modern communications and electronics, enable her to detect, track and deliver rapid salvos of missiles and projectiles against enemy targets whether on land, sea, under the sea or in the air. BARNEY's entry into service marked a major stride forward in the program of providing the United States Navy with advanced types of warships to enable it to meet the challenge of today and those that will follow in the future.
