USS Macdonough, a 1190-ton Clemson class destroyer, was built at San Francisco, California. She was commissioned at the end of April 1921 and soon began operations along the Pacific Coast. During the 1920s she steamed to Hawaii, Central America and the Caribbean to participate in U.S. Fleet maneuvers and, in mid-1925, crossed the Pacific to visit Samoa, Australia, and New Zealand. USS Macdonough was decommissioned in January 1930 and sold for scrapping shortly before the end of that year.
USS Macdonough was named in honor of Commodore Thomas Macdonough (1783-1825), whose career included command of U.S. Navy forces on Lake Champlain during the War of 1812.
