USS MacKenzie, a 1060-ton Little class destroyer built at San Francisco, California, was placed in commission in July 1919. Designated DD-175 a year later, she served in West Coast waters until decommissioned in late May 1922. Laid up at San Diego, California, for the next seventeen years, she was recalled to active service when the outbreak of World War II in Europe prompted an expansion of U.S. Naval strength. MacKenzie recommissioned in November 1939, and mainly served in the western Atlantic region until September 1940, when she was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy. As HMCS Annapolis, the destroyer was employed as a convoy escort in the western North Atlantic. She became a training ship in April 1944 and, after World War II ended in Europe, was sold for scrapping.
USS MacKenzie was named in honor of Lieutenant Commander Alexander Slidell MacKenzie (1842-1867), who was killed in action on Formosa on 13 June 1867.
