The 13 ships were authorized following the Spanish-American War , and were decommissioned in 1920. One ship was lost at sea: the ''Chauncey'', which collided with the SS ''Rose'' in 1917. After decommissioning, the 12 remaining ships were sold to Joseph G. Hitner , except for the ''Hopkins'', which was sold to the Denton Shore Lumber Company . A Bainbridge-class destroyer would be dwarfed by its counterpart of 100 years later. The ''Arleigh Burke'' class destroyer USS ''Bainbridge'' (DDG-96) is more than twice as long and displaces 20 times as much tonnage as her namesake a century earlier, and deadlier than an entire fleet of the battleships that the first ''Bainbridge'' was built to protect. SUBDIVIDING THE ''BAINBRIDGE'' CLASS Some sources break the ''Bainbridge'' class into other classes.
