USS Trippe (DD-33)
The second USS Trippe (DD-33) was a Paulding-class destroyer in commission in the United States Navy from 1911 to 1919. She was named for Lieutenant John Trippe. She saw service during World War I.
After Trippe′s U.S. Navy service ended, she served in the United States Coast Guard as USCGC Trippe (CG-20) from 1924 to 1931.
Trippe was laid down on 12 April 1910 at Bath, Maine, by the Bath Iron Works. She was launched on 20 December 1910, sponsored by Mrs. John S. Hyde, and commissioned at the Boston Navy Yard in Boston, Massachusetts, on 23 March 1911, Lieutenant Frank D. Berrien in command.
Trippe completed sea trials in 1911, and upon commissioning joined the destroyers and submarines assigned to the Atlantic Torpedo Fleet and began routine operations along the United States East Coast. In 1911, she participated in exercises off Newport, Rhode Island; Boston; and the Virginia Capes. She made her first cruise to southern waters in 1912, departing Newport on 3 January 1912 and dropping anchor at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on 14 January. Following three months of training at Guantanamo Bay and in the Gulf of Mexico, she returned north in April 1912 and entered Boston Harbor on 21 April. After repairs, she resumed training operations off the coast of the Northeastern United States. On 2 January 1913, she headed south once more for three months of tactical exercises and gunnery drills from Guantanamo Bay and in the Gulf of Guacanayabo. She returned to Boston on 14 April 1913 and spent the remainder of 1913 in operations off the U.S. coast between Boston and Norfolk, Virginia.
In January 1914, Trippe headed south and conducted battle practice in the Caribbean through the end of March 1914. In April 1914, the Tampico Affair brought her to Mexico when U.S. Navy sailors and United States Marines went ashore at Veracruz and seized the customs house on 21 April 1914. Trippe arrived off Tampico, Mexico, on 22 April 1914 and patrolled the area for a week to prevent Mexico from landing arms there. On 1 May 1914, she steamed south to Veracruz, where she conducted more patrols and supported the battleships and cruisers operating in the vicinity. Near the end of May, she departed Mexican waters, and on 31 May 1914 she entered Boston Harbor.
After the completion of an extensive overhaul, Trippe conducted sea trials and drills in the Boston area from mid-August to late September 1914. On 30 September 1914, she arrived at Newport for a week of operations before heading south. She shifted to Hampton Roads, Virginia, in mid-October 1914 and participated in exercises there and at Lynnhaven Bay on the coast of Virginia at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay for a month before returning to Boston.
Trippe spent December 1914 and the first three weeks of January 1915 in the Boston area. On 26 January 1915, she arrived in Guantanamo Bay to resume her schedule of winter drills in the Caribbean. Late in March 1915, she headed northward and reached Boston on 6 April 1915. After her normal round of maneuvers off the coast of the northeastern United States, she returned to Boston on 23 October 1915.
On 13 December 1915, Trippe became a unit of the newly organized 2nd Reserve Flotilla. On 5 January 1916, she was designated a "destroyer operating with reduced complement," and on 27 January 1916, she was placed in ordinary at the Boston Navy Yard.
