-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium rank {{Specs|rank}} American destroyer {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "New Power"]].
+The '''USS Welborn C. Wood (DD-195)''' is a member of the Clemson-class destroyer family. The USS Welborn C. Wood was laid down on September 24, 1918, by the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company in Newport News, Virginia; launched on March 6, 1920; sponsored by Miss Virginia Mary Tate; designated DD-195 during the assignment of alphanumeric hull number designations on July 17, 1920; and commissioned at the Norfolk Navy Yard on January 14, 1921. She served in the United States Coast Guard as USCGD Wood. The Royal Navy renamed her HMS Chesterfield later on. The USS Welborn C. Wood was decommissioned on August 8, 1922, in Philadelphia, after serving with the Atlantic Fleet along the east coast on an ordinary schedule of training and manoeuvres.

 After her commissioning in 1921, the Welborn C. Wood served for a short time in fleet exercises before being placed into reserve due to the relaxed naval demand of the interwar years. However, the introduction of prohibition (preventing individuals from accessing alcohol) resulted in a rise in liquor-smuggling, particularly by sea. As a result, in 1929, the Welborn C. Wood was one of 25 old American destroyers given to the Coast Guard to enforce complete prohibition. She was thus renamed the USCGD Wood, and served on the "rum patrol", the American destroyer force tasked with stopping ships from illegally importing alcohol. After four years of patrols, the Welborn C. Wood was again placed into reserve in 1934.
-After the start of war in Europe, the Welborn C. Wood was immediately reactivated to help supplement the American neutrality patrols, mainly to protect the American coastlines and shipping routes. However, in 1940, the American and British signed the Destroyers-for-bases deal. During that time, the British navy was deeply in need for destroyers as the waters around the UK were blockaded by the United Kingdom. As a result, the US agreed to exchange 50 surplus destroyers for 99-year leases on British ports such as Newfoundland and Bermuda. Welborn C. Wood was one of the 50 destroyers and was handed to the British in September of 1940.

 After her transfer, Welborn C. Wood was renamed Chesterfield and served in the Atlantic theatre. She was modified for the convoy escort role through the removal of three of her four 100 mm guns and three of her four triple torpedo tubes, which reduced her weight and allowed the fitting of depth charge racks and hedgehog anti submarine mortars. From 1942 to 1943, Chesterfield served in the Atlantic where she escorted several convoys. She attempted to attack the German submarine U-268 with depth charges, but ended up damaging herself with her depth charges and returned to Plymouth for repairs. She was subsequently turned into a target ship for aircraft. She was decommissioned in late 1945, and scrapped in 1948.

 === Design and development ===
 The Clemson class was a large class of 156 destroyers built for the United States Navy (USN) just after the end of the First World War. Designed as a follow-up to the previous Wickes class, the ships were the last flush-decked destroyers built for the USN, in that their main deck was level throughout the entire ship. As well, they were the most numerous destroyers to serve in the USN until the introduction of the 175-ship Fletcher class during the Second World War. Welborn C. Wood was laid down in September of 1918 and eventually completed by January of 1921.
-Welborn C. Wood displaced 1215 tons and had a crew complement of 111 officers and men. Her main armament consisted of four 4-inch (100 mm) guns in single mounts, with one at the front, two on side sponsons and one aft. Her initial secondary armament consisted of three 3-inch (76 mm) guns in single mounts, intended for anti-aircraft defence. Finally, the Welborn C. Wood carried twelve 21-inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes in four triple mounts, with six being able to fire to each side. Powered by geared turbines, the ship was capable of 35 knots (65 km/h).
