USS Blakeley DD-150 (Destroyer)
Explore the captivating history of the USS Blakeley (DD-150), a Wickes-class destroyer that served in the United States Navy. Commissioned in 1919 and named after Captain Johnston Blakeley, this remarkable vessel had a journey filled with challenges and contributions.
During the interwar period, the Blakeley faced decommissioning several times due to budget constraints. However, her story took a dramatic turn when she was recommissioned in October 1939, just as World War II began to unfold. She played a crucial role in the Neutrality Patrol and later in convoy patrol duty in the Caribbean Sea.
In May 1942, while on patrol near Martinique, the Blakeley endured a torpedo strike from the German submarine U-156, resulting in substantial damage to her forward section. Witness her incredible transformation, as she underwent temporary repairs in Fort-de-France, attached a steel stub bow in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and even incorporated the forward section of her decommissioned sister ship, the USS Taylor.
Throughout the war, the Blakeley dutifully escorted convoys in the Caribbean Sea Frontier, participated in hunter-killer missions in the North Atlantic, and ensured safe passage for vital supplies to Bizerte, Tunisia, in 1943. Learn about her post-war service in training U.S. submariners and her eventual decommissioning in July 1945 at the Philadelphia Naval Yard.
Don't miss this opportunity to uncover the extraordinary journey of the USS Blakeley, a vessel that earned one battle star for her wartime convoy duty and left an indelible mark on naval history.
