High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Sharkey (DD-281) was a Clemson-class destroyer in the United States Navy following World War I. She was named for William J. Sharkey. Sharkey was laid down on 14 April 1919 by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation, Squantum, Massachusetts; launched on 12 August 1919; sponsored by Mrs. Mary E. Sharkey; and commissioned on 28 November 1919, Commander E. D. Washburn, Jr., in command. Immediately after commissioning, Sharkey was sent to the rescue of SS Powhatan and was one of four ships standing by as the stricken vessel was taken under tow. She then completed shakedown out of Newport, Rhode Island, and departed that port on 28 January 1920 for Guantanamo Bay. Late in April, she steamed to Boston for repairs. When the work was completed, she joined the Reserve Destroyers, Atlantic Fleet, at Charleston, South Carolina, on 5 October.
