One hundred and eleven Wickes class destroyers were completed for the U.S. Navy, the first being delivered in 1918 and most of the balance being commissioned in 1919. They were a more powerful version of the preceding Caldwell class, capable of 35 knots.

They proved wet boats and lacked range for convenient, sustained operations. This would be alleviated in changes made in the subsequent Clemson class, though none of those would be completed before the war's end.
