USS Barney (DD-149)

USS Barney (DD–149) was a Wickes-class destroyer in the United States Navy during World War II, later redesignated AG-113.

Recommissioned on 1 May 1930, Barney operated with Destroyer Squadron, Scouting Force, on the east coast and in the Caribbean Sea until transiting the Panama Canal in February 1932 to participate in fleet problems off San Francisco.

Remaining on the west coast, she operated for a time in reduced commission with Rotating Destroyer Squadron 20 Scouting Force.

Between December 1941 and November 1943, Barney was assigned to the Caribbean area, escorting convoys between Trinidad British West Indies; and Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

Both ships returned to Willemstad, Curaçao, Netherlands West Indies, where temporary repairs were made and then Barney departed for Charleston Navy Yard.
