	USS Blue (DD-387) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		USS Blue (DD-387), a Bagley-class destroyer, was the first United States Navy ship of that name, in honor of Rear Admiral Victor Blue (1865–1928).
		She was launched 27 May 1937 by Norfolk Naval Shipyard; sponsored by Miss Kate Lilly Blue, sister of Rear Adm. Blue; and commissioned 14 August 1937, Lieutenant Commander J. Wright in command.
		She served with the offshore patrol in the approaches to Pearl Harbor during December 1941-January 1942 and then joined Enterprise (CV-6) for the attacks at Wotje, Maloelap, Kwajalein Atolls, Marshall Islands on 1 February 1942, and the Wake Island attack on 24 February.

		DD-387 was named for RADM Victor Blue, whose service first as intelligence operative during the Spanish-American War then as Chief of the Bureau of Navigation and commander of the battleship TEXAS (BB-35) during World War I marked him as a leader in the emerging world-class United States Navy.
		In the early morning hours of August 22, 1942, USS BLUE was patrolling the waters of Ironbottom Sound, escorting a convoy in the company of two of her sister ships.
		BLUE was kept afloat until USS HELM (DD-388) could pass a towing line to the stricken tin can and begin the slow trip to a safe anchorage.

		HULL was one of the destroyers consumed by the ferocious typhoon Cobra of 17-18 December, along with USS SPENCE (DD- 512) and USS MONAGHAN (DD- 354).
		Rough on battleships and carriers, the typhoon was unmitigated hell for the destroyers, some of which, low on fuel, had pumped out water ballast preparatory to fuelling and were consequently riding high in the water.
		During the peak of the storm, a number of the DD's were rolled on their beams and pinned down with their stacks almost flat against the sea.
