Service

Gwin was commissioned at Puget Sound on 18 March, 1920 under the command of Lieutenant Commander Herbert H. Bouson. Her career was not much to speak of – she traversed the Panama Canal to arrive on the east coast in June. Two years later, she was to be decommissioned, never to serve again.
