    Description

    ORIGINAL AS AHOWN
    8X10
    Stansbury
    served with the
    Pacific Fleet
    for over two years during which time she received the designation DD-180. On 27 May 1922, she was
    decommissioned
    and berthed at
    San Diego
    . She remained inactive for more than 12 years, but the onset of
    World War II
    in September 1939 necessitated her reactivation along with that of many of her
    sister ships
    . Accordingly,
    Stansbury
    was recommissioned at San Diego on 29 August 1940,
    Lieutenant Commander
    R. N. McFarlane
    in command. From there, she moved to the
    Mare Island Navy Yard
    to begin her conversion to a high-speed
    minesweeper
    . In October, she proceeded to
    Norfolk, Virginia
    , where the conversion was completed. On 19 November, she was redesignated a
    destroyer
    minesweeper, DMS-8.
