The first USS Barry (DD-2) was a Bainbridge-class destroyer in the United States Navy named for Commodore John Barry. Barry was launched on 22 March 1902 by Neafle and Levy Ship and Engine Building Company, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; sponsored by Miss Charlotte Adams Barnes, great-grandniece of Commodore Barry: and commissioned on 24 November 1902, Lieutenant N. E. Erwin in command. Barry was assigned to the 1st Torpedo Flotilla, Coast Squadron, North Atlantic Fleet, and during the summer of 1903 participated in maneuvers off the New England coast. In December 1903 she departed the east coast and sailed via the Suez Canal to the Asiatic Station, arriving in April 1904. On the Asiatic Station she served with the 1st Torpedo Flotilla, Battleship Squadron, until August 1917, except for two short periods (2 April – 21 December 1908 and on 21 October 1912 – 24 June 1913) out of commission. Barry departed the Philippine Islands, on 1 August 1917 and sailed via the Suez Canal for Gibraltar, arriving 20 October. She escorted merchantmen in the Mediterranean until August 1918 and arrived at Charleston, South Carolina, on 5 September 1918. She remained there until the end of the year performing patrol and convoy duties. In January 1919 she left for Philadelphia Navy Yard where she went out of commission on 28 June 1919 and was sold on 3 January 1920. See USS Barry for other ships of this name. Barry
