High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Stanly (DD-478), a Fletcher-class destroyer, was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for Rear Admiral Fabius Stanly (1815–1882). Stanly was laid down on 15 September 1941 at the Charleston Navy Yard, Charleston, S.C.; launched on 2 May 1942; sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth Stanley Boss; and commissioned on 15 October 1942, Lieutenant Commander James M. Robinson in command. Stanly remained in Charleston fitting-out and undergoing dock trials until 30 December. During that time, her seaplane catapult was removed to make room for additional 5 inch guns. On the 30th, she passed Fort Sumter on her way to shakedown training off the coast of Cuba. Stanly returned to Charleston on 7 January 1943 and operated on the east coast and in Guantanamo Bay until 28 February when she rounded Cape Charles and headed for Delaware Bay, where she joined Sante Fe (CL-60) and sailed with the light cruiser for Panama.
