The Monaghan was laid down 21 November 1933 at Boston Navy Yard, and launched 9 January 1935. She was sponsored by Miss Mary F. Monaghan, niece of Ensign Monaghan and commissioned 19 April 1935, Commander R. R. Thompson in command. During the next few years Monaghan operated primarily in the North Atlantic, training US Navy personnel who served in World War II. Monaghan was present during the Pearl Harbor raid in 1941, participated in the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway in 1942, and was eventually sunk in a typhoon east of the Philippines in 1944.
