THEODORE E. CHANDLER IDD 7171 officially began on 9 July 1942 when her construction was authorized. On 23 April 1945 the keel was laid at Federal Shipbuiding and Drydock Company, Kearney, New Jersey and on 20 October 1945 the ship was launched. A long hull 2250 ton destroyer, the CHANDLER was commissioned on 22 March, 1946 at which time Commander F.O.C. FLETCHER assumed command. I The ship is named in honor of Rear Admiral Theodore Edson CHANDLER, u'.s. Navy. cammiaaiaaaa from fha Naval Academy in 1915, he rose to flag rank during World War ll. Admiral CHANDLER was killed on 7 January, 1945 on board his flagshiplthe U. S. S. LOUISVILLE in Lingayen Gulf, Philippine Islands. After a shakedown cruise to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and sub- sequent availabilityat Brooklyn Naval Shipyard, the CHANDLER participated in flight qualification operations in the Atlantic with the U.S.S. SAIPAN and U.S.S. LEYTE. ln September 1946, the ship proceeded from New York to San Diego via the Panama Canal to report to Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet. The CHANDLER ioined' Destroyer Division 171 in San Diego, consisting of the U.S.S. WILSIE IDD 7161, U.S.S. HAMNER IDD 7181 and the U.S.S. OSBORNE IDD 8461, the latter being replaced by the U.S.S. CHEVALIER IDDR 8051 in 1949. 'The Division has since been redesignated 111 and is now under the command of Captain P.H. BRADY, U.S. Navy. On 6 January 1947, the CHANDLER departed San Diego for duty in the Western Pacific, thus beginning the first of two tours on China Station in the Far East. In September of 1947, Commander FLETCHER was relieved by Commander U.G. DOUKAS as Command- I '17 rg, , 341 - 3 ,-pil -v ...muh f' '? 1',Q.',j',g3.'2,,.'e I 1J ' ':...-......A.---W - - b CHANDLER 7 ing Officer of the CHANDLER. lt was during this period that the book China Station was written by one of the CHANDLER'S officers. It was in 'I949 that Commander DOUKAS was relieved by Comman- der W.J. CULLUM. Immediately after the invasion of South Korea by the North Koreans in l95O, the CHANDLER, along with the rest of Destroyer Division lll, was ordered to Korean waters. During the Korean hos- tilities, the CHANDLER made a total of three tours to the forward area, participating heavily in the action. ln March of l95l Comman- der CULLUM was relieved by Commander T.H. WELLS as Commanding Officer of the CHANDLER. The second Korean tour was likewise mark- ed by numerous shore bombardment engagements, during which the CHANDLER was credited with destroying six enemy batteries of TO5 MM guns. ln March of i952 Commander WELLS was relieved by Commander D.M. RUBEL as Commanding Officer of the CHANDLER. During the third tour to Korea in l953, after rotation from Task Force 77 to Formosa Patrol to shore bombardment with Task Force 95, the CHANDLER earned membership in the exclusive Trainbusters Club and received high praise for her operations. As a result of her par- ticipation in the Korean conflict the CHANDLER received all nine battle stars that were issued. By the end of l953, Commander J.D.H. KANE, the CHANDLER'S present Commanding Officer, had relieved Comman- der RUBEL. Since the termination of hostilities in Korea, the CHANDLER has made two routine six month tours to the Far East in addition to training operations off the West Coast of the United States. These tours included operations with Task Force 77 and Formosa Patrol, as well as visits to such ports as Hong Kong, Kobe, Yokosuka, Sasebo. 2 -7111 , The Captain 5 A COMMANDER J. D. H. KANE, JR.
