Aylwin-class destroyer
The ''Aylwin'' class was a class of four destroyers in the United States Navy; all served as convoy escorts during World War I. The ''Aylwin''s were the second of six "second-generation" 1000-ton four-stack destroyer classes that were front-line ships of the Navy until the 1920s. They were known as "thousand tonners". All were scrapped in 1935 to comply with the London Naval Treaty.〔Gardiner, p. 122〕
All four ships were built by William Cramp and Sons in Philadelphia.
The ships were built concurrently with the ''Cassin'' class and are sometimes considered to be in that class. In design and armament they were essentially repeats of the ''Cassin'' class.
==Design==
The ''Aylwin''s retained the ''Cassin''s' armament of four 4 inch (102 mm) Mark 9 guns and eight 18 inch (456 mm) torpedo tubes in twin broadside mounts. Also, as in some ''Cassin''s, triple-expansion engines could be clutched to the shafts for economical medium-speed cruising.〔Gardiner, p. 122〕 The class was probably equipped with one or two depth charge racks each for anti-submarine convoy escort missions in World War I.〔Friedman, p. 68〕
