Reserve Status
Isherwood stayed in reserve status until 10 May 1921 when, with 50 percent complement, she sailed to the Boston Navy Yard, where she joined the Destroyer Force. Operating with reduced complement, she transported Naval Reservists between Boston and Newport and engaged in target practice until 4 August. Following repairs at the Boston Navy Yard (13 March – 8 May 1922), Isherwood joined Destroyer Squadron 9 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and proceeded to Yorktown, Virginia, for exercises with the Fleet. She maneuvered in the area until 3 January 1923 when she rendezvoused with the Scouting Fleet Destroyers for training in the Caribbean; at Beaufort, North Carolina; and at Baltimore, Maryland. She continued her readiness operations in the Caribbean until 28 March 1925.
On 7 May 1925, Isherwood, arrived Boston for a Naval Reserve cruise from Maine to the District of Columbia. She rejoined her squadron at Newport 31 August, and arrived at Guantanamo 24 September for maneuvers in the Caribbean. Having completed exercises with the Fleet, Isherwood arrived in Portsmouth, Virginia, 13 April, and departed 12 June for France via Newport and the Azores. Isherwood arrived St. Nazaire 29 June; she then conducted a good will cruise to various British and Mediterranean ports.
After her arrival in Boston 15 July 1927, Isherwood resumed her schedule of reservist training cruises and fleet maneuvers in the Caribbean until June 1929.

Famous quotes containing the words reserve and/or status:
“One should never make one’s debut with a scandal. One should reserve that to give an interest to one’s old age.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Knowing how beleaguered working mothers truly are—knowing because I am one of them—I am still amazed at how one need only say “I work” to be forgiven all expectation, to be assigned almost a handicapped status that no decent human being would burden further with demands. “I work” has become the universally accepted excuse, invoked as an all-purpose explanation for bowing out, not participating, letting others down, or otherwise behaving inexcusably.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
