What is known about this ship

USS Colhoun is documented as one ship originating in the Wickes class.

Service history

The ship later became high-speed transport APD-2, and both destroyer and APD identities remain attached to this single hull.

Class context: Wickes class

The Wickes class was the first mass-produced U.S. flush-deck destroyer design of the World War I era.

This ship is recorded as a member of Wickes class. Shared design history belongs on the class page; this page concentrates on the individual hull where evidence is available.
