USS Stansbury, a 1060-ton Little class destroyer built at San Francisco, California, was placed in commission in January 1920.

 List of United States Navy destroyers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CG-47 Ticonderoga and CG-48 Yorktown were approved as destroyers (DDG-47 and DDG-48) and redesignated cruisers before being laid down; it is uncertain whether CG-49 Vincennes and CG-50 Valley Forge were ever authorized as destroyers by the United States Congress (though the fact that the DDG sequence resumes with DDG-51 Arleigh Burke argues that they were).
The guided missile destroyer sequence has three irregularities: four DDGs are numbered as if they were Destroyers in the main sequence (DDG-993, -994, -995 and -996), two were redesignated as guided missile cruisers (CG) (DDG-47 and DDG-48), and two numbers were skipped (DDG-49 and DDG-50).
DDG-48 became USS Yorktown (CG-48), shifted to CG 1 Jan 1980

 Stansbury dd 180
Stansbury (Destroyer No. 180) was laid down on 9 December 1918 by Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corp. at San Francisco, Calif.; launched on 16 May 1919; sponsored by Miss Mary Eleanor Trevorrow; and commissioned at Mare Island Navy Yard on 8 January 1920, Comdr.
On 27 May 1922, she was decommissioned and berthed at San Diego, Calif. She remained inactive for more than 12 years, but the onset of World War II in September 1939 necessitated her reactivation along with that of many of her sister ships.
On the 15th, the cargo ship Electra (AK-21) was torpedoed; but-thanks to the efforts of Stansbury, Raven (AM-55), and Cherokee (AT-66)—she remained afloat throughout the night and was beached at Casablanca the following morning.

There is an excellent model of the USS Enterprise on display at the US Naval Academy (At store next to fieldhouse near gate#1).
Am considering building a model of the original USS Enterprise but not for a year or so.
I might recommend a link back to your "home page" from the pages of your "model progress" pages...hitting the back button 5 or 6 times is kind of a pain.
