Construction
The two gunboats of the Erie class were ordered in June 1933,
with the first ship of class, Erie, laid down at the New York Naval
Shipyard on 17 December 1934. Erie was launched on 29 February
1936 and commissioned on 1 July 1936.
Prewar
Erie spent November and December 1936 on her shakedown
cruise protecting American interests and citizens during the Spanish
Civil War. For most of 1937 she trained midshipmen, operating out
of United States Naval Academy in Annapolis. On 3 February 1938
she became flagship of the Special Service Squadron which operated
along the coasts of Central and South America. Her duties included
training, neutrality patrol, and guard ship for the Panama Canal.
On 21 January 1939, Erie participated in search-and-rescue
efforts related to the ditching and sinking of the Imperial Airways
Short Empire flying boat Cavalier in the Atlantic Ocean. She
transferred a doctor to the commercial tanker Esso Baytown, which
rescued the airliner'?s 10 survivors, but because of the high seas and
darkness had to discontinue the search for the other three people
who had been aboard Cavalier.
World War II
At the outbreak of World War II Erie was stationed Balboa,
Panama, at the Pacific end of the Panama Canal. On 13 December
1941, Erie picked up 50 Japanese internees at Puntarenas from the
Costa Rican 14 December, Erie boarded MV Sea Ray
and removed a Japanese on board, and ordered Sea Ray into Balboa
the next 16 December, she boarded MV Santa Margarita and
ordered her to Puntarenas, and later the same day, towed a disabled
motor boat, Orion, into the same port.
In June 1942, Erie was transferred to Cristóbal, at the Atlantic
end of the Canal, and joined the Battle of the Caribbean against
German U-boats operating between Panama and Cuba.
On 12 November while leading convoy TAG-20 between Trinidad
and Guantanamo Bay, Erie was struck by one of three torpedoes fired
by U-163. She was badly damaged, and had 7 crew killed and 11
wounded. She was beached to prevent her sinking, and burned for
days.
