Gridley Operational Timeline

24 Jun 1937 Gridley was commissioned into service.
28 Oct 1944 Destroyer USS Helm, assisted by destroyer USS Gridley and TBF Avenger aircraft from carrier USS Belleau Wood, sinks either Japanese submarine I-46 or I-54, 100 miles east of Samar, Philippines. [Both I-46 and I-54 were lost the same day in the same area so there is some uncertainty, but I-46 is more likely.]
18 Apr 1946 Gridley was decommissioned from service.
