USS Meredith (Destroyer # 165, later DD-165), 1919-1936
USS Meredith, a 1060-ton Little class destroyer
built at Quincy, Massachusetts, was commissioned in late January
1919. She operated in the western Atlantic and the Caribbean area
during her brief active career. Among her activities was service
as a plane guard during the trans-Atlantic flight of the seaplane
NC-4 in May 1919. Following three years and five months of commissioned
service, Meredith was laid up at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard in June 1922. She was sold for scrapping in September 1936.
