SI-IIP'S HISTORY The USS CORRY QDD-8175 is named in honor of Lieutenant Com- mander William Merrill Corry who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 1920 for attempting to rescue the pilot of their flame-enveloped aircraft which had crashed. The present CORRY is the third ship to bear Commander Corry's name. The first CORRY, an old four piper , was decommissioned as a result of the London Treaty which limited world-wide naval strength. The second CORRY was a gallant Man O' War during World War II. Serving as an escort vessel in the Atlantic and Carib- bean waters, she rammed and sank one enemy submarine and materially assisted in the destruction of another. While covering early landings at Normandy, France she struck a mine and sank. Miraculously all hands survived. USS CORRY CDD-8175 was built by Consolidated Steel Corpora- tion, Orange, Texas. Her Keel was laid 5 April 1945. She was launched 28 July 1945 and commissioned on 27 February 1946. From 1946 until 1953, CORRY operated with the Atlantic Fleet as an all-purpose destroyer. In 1953 she was converted to a Radar Pickett Destroyer and made numerous cruises to the Mediterra- nean, Northern Europe, and South America, participated in the Cuban Quarantine, and distinguished herself in the Honduras Disaster Relief. In 1964, CORRY was again converted in the Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization Program to an all-purpose destroyer specializing in antisubmarine warfare. Since the FRAM I conversion, CORRY has participated in numerous fleet exercises in the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Caribbean. She was deployed with the Seventh Fleet in WESTPAC from September 1968 until April, 1969 and has made two deployments with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean since that time. After a short rest, CORRY was off to the North Atlantic participating in the NATO exercise Strong Express . While on her transit back from the North Atlantic in October 1972, she received notice that she would be deploying, again, to the Western Pacific operating with the Seventh Fleet. On 14 June 1973 CORRY returned to Norfolk, completing her last deployment with the active fleet. Now, she must be made ready for service as a member of the Atlantic Reserve Fleet homeported in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. ., 99
