USS Lamson (DD-328), 1921-1931

USS Lamson, a 1190-ton Clemson class destroyer, was built at San Francisco, California. She was was commissioned in April 1921 and steamed to the Atlantic late in that year to began a career pattern of operations along the East Coast and in the Caribbean area. Lamson's service also included a deployment to northern European waters and the Mediterranean Sea between June 1925 and mid-1926. In May 1930, as the U.S. Navy swapped well-worn active destroyers for relatively fresh ones taken from reserve, USS Lamson was decommissioned. She was sold for scrapping in January 1931.

This page features all the views we have concerning USS Lamson (DD-328).
