"The first Navy ship named for Commander William Lewis Herdon (1813-1857), Herndon was launched on 31 May 1919, sponsored by Miss Lucy Taylor Herndon, niece of Commander Herndon. She was commissioned on 14 September 1920 at Norfolk Virginia with Lieutenant Commander L. H. Thebaud in command. After shakedown in New England waters, Herndon was placed in reserve in Charleston, S. Carolina on 3 November 1920. She served in reserve for training exercises and maneuvers along the US east coast until she was decommissioned at Philadelphia on 6 June 1922. Herndon served in the U.S Coast Guard from 1930 to 1934 as part of the Rum Patrol. She was decommissioned into the Navy on 4 December 1939. Following trials and shakedown, she reached Guantanamo Bay on 23 January 1940 to join the Caribbean Neutrality Patrol. In July–August, she operated out of the Panama Canal Zone on tactical and antisubmarine maneuvers. The Herndon Depot Museum in Herndon, Virginia houses artifacts from USS Herndon."
