Gridley is named after Charles Gridley, recipient of Admiral George Dewey's famous command, "You may fire when you are ready, Gridley" in the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War. In May 2004, the Secretary of the Navy announced the names of five new Arleigh Burke class destroyers, including Gridley. Her keel was laid in July 2004 at the Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine. She is scheduled to join the Pacific Fleet. See USS Gridley for other ships of this name. References Gridley DDG-101
