The first JOUETT QDD-415 was built at Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine, and commissioned at Boston on 24 May 1912. She had a length overall of 293 feet and 11 inches, extreme beam, 27 feet, and normal displacement, 787 tons. Her designed speed was 27.5 knots, had a com- plement of 4 officers and 79 men, and her initial armament was five 3-inch guns and six 18-inch torpedo tubes. JOUETT joined the Atlantic Fleet Torpedo Flotilla and cruised along the eastern seaboard out of Norfolk, Newport, Boston and New York. She took up patrol in the Delaware Bay when the United States entered World War I, later ex- tending her cruising grounds to areas of search off the east coast. In 1917, she was an escort for a convoy carry- ing American Expeditionary Forces to St. Nazaire, France. After the war, JOUETT was decommissioned. She was loaned to the United States Coast Guard in 1924 for cutter operations until 1931. JOUETT was struck from the Navy list on 5 July 1934, and was sold for scrapping on August 1934. The second JOUETT QDD-3961 was also built by Bath Iron Works and was commissioned on 25 January 1939. She had a length overall of 390 feet and ll inches, extreme beam of 36 feet and 11 inches, and a normal displacement of 2130 tons. JOUETT had a complement of 10 officers and 225 enlisted men and an initial armament of eight 5-inch guns, two 50!63.8 mm anti-aircraft guns and nine 21-inch torpedo tubes. JOUETT operated with both Atlantic and Pacific Fleets until the outbreak of World War II. She was in Port of Spain, Trinidad, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. She continued operations with the FOURTH Fleet in meet- ing the German U-boat and raider menace in the central Atlantic. JOUETT drove off a U-boat which was tracking the oiler KENNEBEC in March 1942. On 9 May 1942, she depth-charged a U-boat off French Guiana. Two weeks later JOUETTdrove another U-boat under, thus allowing the fleet oiler PATOKA to escape. On the morning of 4 January 1944, JOUETT and the cruiser OMAHA intercepted and sank with gunfire the 6026-ton German blockade runner SS RIO GRANDE. The next morning, the 7320-ton BURGENLAND was intercepted and sunk. This virtually ended the flow of materials from the Far East to Germany. I In June 1944, JOUETT escorted ships bringing rein- forcements for the Normandy landing and later served in the shore bombardment screen. After the war JOUETT entered the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard and was decom- missioned there on 1 November 1945. Her name was struck from the Navy list on 28 November 1945, and she was scrapped the following Spring. I .
