What is Paulding Class Destroyer?

Information about Paulding Class Destroyer

The Paulding-class destroyers were a modification of the Smith-class. The newer class burned oil rather than coal, lightening the ships and making them faster.

The ships served in the United States Navy. Some were later transferred to the United States Coast Guard, while the rest were sold for scrap.

Generally 21 ships, hull numbers 22 through 42, are considered Pauldings. However, some rate the hull numbers 32 through 42 as Monaghan-class. Others break hulls 24-28, 30, 31, 33 and 36 as Roe-class, with hulls 32, 35, and 38-42 as Monaghan-class.

Hulls 24-27 and 30-31 were modified from the four-stack design to have three stacks.




Perkins with three stack design

Trippe with four stacks




The Smith-class destroyers were among the first destroyers in the United States Navy.

Five ships were built using the basic Smith design. However, Flusser and Reid are sometimes considered to be Flusser-class ships.
