Named after a town in Virginia, where the climactic battle of the American Revolution was fought in the autumn of 1781. Two previous US warships had borne this name.
Authorized under the National Industrial Recovery Act of 16 June 1933.

Fate: Disabled by Japanese carrier aircraft bombs and torpedoes, 4 June 1942 (Battle of Midway) (read War Damage Report No. 25). Torpedoed by Japanese submarine I-168, 6 June. Sunk on 7 June 1942.

A number of her crew were lost with the ship and remain on active duty.
