'''USS ''Farragut'' (DD-300)''' was a {{sclass|Clemson|destroyer}} built for the [[United States Navy]] during World War I.

==Description==
The ''Clemson'' class was a repeat of the preceding {{sclass|Wickes|destroyer|4}} although more fuel capacity was added.<ref name=gg3>Gardiner & Gray, p. 125</ref> The ships displaced {{convert|1290|LT|t|0}} at [[Displacement (ship)|standard]] load and {{convert|1389|LT|t|0}} at [[deep load]]. They had an [[length overall|overall length]] of {{convert|314|ft|4|in|1}}, a [[beam (nautical)|beam]] of {{convert|30|ft|11|in|1}} and a [[draft (hull)|draught]] of {{convert|10|ft|3|in|1}}. They had a crew of 6 officers and 108 enlisted men.<ref>Friedman, pp. 402–03</ref>

Performance differed radically between the ships of the class, often due to poor workmanship. The ''Clemson'' class was powered by two [[steam turbine]]s, each driving one [[propeller shaft]], using steam provided by four [[water-tube boiler]]s. The turbines were designed to produce a total of {{convert|27000|shp|lk=in}} intended to reach a speed of {{convert|35|kn|lk=in}}. The ships carried a maximum of {{convert|371|LT|t|0}} of [[fuel oil]] which was intended gave them a range of {{convert|2500|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|20|kn}}.<ref>Friedman, pp. 39–42, 402–03</ref>

The ships were armed with four [[4"/50 caliber gun|4-inch (102&nbsp;mm) guns]] in single mounts and were fitted with two [[QF 1-pounder pom-pom|1-pounder]] guns for anti-aircraft defense. In many ships a shortage of 1-pounders caused them to be replaced by [[3"/23 caliber gun|3-inch (76&nbsp;mm) guns]]. Their primary weapon, though, was their torpedo [[Artillery battery#Naval usage|battery]] of a dozen [[American 21 inch torpedo|21 inch (533 mm)]] [[torpedo tube]]s in four triple mounts. They also carried a pair of [[depth charge]] rails. A "Y-gun" depth charge thrower was added to many ships.<ref>Friedman, pp. 44–45</ref>

==Construction and career==
''Farragut'', named for Admiral [[David Farragut]], was laid down by the [[Union Iron Works]] Plant of the [[Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation]] in [[San Francisco, California]] on 4 July 1918.

It was sponsored by Marie Charlier Potts, wife of [[Templin Potts|Templin Morris Potts]], and launched on 21 November 1918. On 4 June 1920, it was commissioned.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dddiTGPC4_0C&pg=PA70 |title=Ships of the United States Navy and Their Sponsors, 1913-1923 |page=70 |publisher=The Plimpton Press |date=1925 |access-date=1 December 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/ship-histories/danfs/f/farragut-ii.html |title=Farragut II (Destroyer No. 300), 1920-1930 |website=navily.mil |date=24 February 2016 |access-date=1 December 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Lieut.

''Farragut'' arrived at [[San Diego, California]] 3 July 1920, and was at once placed in reserve until 31 March 1922. Then she took up a regular training schedule along the west coast, from the [[Panama Canal Zone]] to [[Oregon]]. On 27 July 1923, at [[Seattle, Washington]], she took part in a review taken by [[President of the United States|President]] [[Warren G. Harding]], on his way home from a visit to Alaska. Returning to San Diego, she, with eight other ships, grounded on a foggy night on Honda Point, 8 September, in the [[Honda Point Disaster]]. ''Farragut'' and one other ship were able to get clear with only minor damage, while the others remained stranded on the rocky shore.

In both 1924 and 1927, ''Farragut'' sailed into the [[Caribbean]] for fleet concentrations for maneuvers, in 1927 continuing north to visit New York, [[Newport, Rhode Island]], and [[Norfolk, Virginia]]. Her first visit to the [[Hawaiian Islands]] was in the summer of 1925, during which she acted as station ship during the flight of [[seaplane]]s from the west coast to Hawaii. Again in the spring of 1928 ''Farragut'' exercised in the Hawaiians.

''USS Farragut'' was decommissioned at [[San Diego]] on 1 April 1930, stricken from the [[Naval Vessel Register]] on 22 July 1930 and sold for scrap on 31 October 1930 in accordance with the [[London Naval Treaty]].
