Proud U.S. Navy vessels named DETROIT Five United States ships have proudly borne the name DETROIT, playing active roles in U.S. Naval History since 1813. From Lake Erie to Rio, from Pearl Harbor to the Indian Ocean, they have built a tradition of service that lives today in USS DETROIT (AOE ' 4). 1813-1824 The first DETROIT, a 19-gun brig of 400 tons, was first a British ship built at Maiden (now Amherstburg), Canada in 1813. She was captured by Commodore Perry ' s forces at the Battle of Lake Erie that September, but was so badly damaged she had to be towed to Put-in-Bay, Ohio. She remained out of service until she was sold to commercial trading interests in 1824. 1869 The second DETROIT had a very brief career. On 15 May 1869 USS CANANDAIGUA was renamed DE- TROIT. 10 August of the same year, the name was changed back to CANANDAIGUA. 1893-1905 The third DETROIT, a cruiser, was commissioned in 1893 and had a longer and more colorful career than her predecessors. She first steamed to Rio de Janeiro to protect American citizens during a period of civil unrest, then deployed to Asia for several years before the 1898 Spanish-American War. During that conflict she captured the Spanish steamer CATALINA, then maintained a Caribbean patrol until she returned to Boston, where she was placed out of commission on 1 August 1905. 1923-1946 The fourth DETROIT, commissioned in 1923, was a light cruiser of 7,050 tons. She served on lifeguard duty for the Army Air Corps around-the-world flight in 1924, then served as flagship for cruiser and destroyer divisions in the Atlantic and Pacific fleets until 1941. She was at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack, but managed to get underway and set up an antiaircraft fire, accounting for several enemy planes. As signed to convoy escort duty during most of the next year, she once carried home 22 tons of gold and silver from a submarine which had escaped the falling Philippines.
