 | | Williamson later joined Kansas (Battleship No. 21) and made the globe-girdling cruiser of the "Great White Fleet" (1907-1908) in her before he was ordered to Washington, D.C., in March 1909 for "ordnance instruction." From there, he went to Utah (Battleship No. 31) in October of 1911. |
 | | Williamson continued operating off the east coast into mid-1931 as part of Destroyer Division 9, Flotilla 1, Scouting Force, before she shifted to San Diego, Calif., in March 1932, to operate briefly off the west coast in the spring before returning to the east coast. |
 | | Although Williamson operated primarily with Destroyer Squadrons, Scouting Force, she spent a brief period in January and February 1927 in the Special Service Squadron operating off the east coast of Nicaragua during an outbreak of revolutionary violence. |
