The Benson-class destroyers were 1500-ton class destroyers built under the 1938 program as an improved version of the preceding Sims class, with 32 ships commissioned. Reflecting on the Sims class's insufficient stability due to heavy armament, the number of torpedo tubes was reduced and the machinery arrangement was modified, but the ship type still exhibited a top-heavy profile. The lead ship, Benson, was commissioned in April 1940. It was active in the Atlantic during the early part of the war and transferred to the Pacific in 1945. After being transferred to Taiwan in 1954, it remained in active service until 1975.
