Fate
Dale operated with Destroyer Squadrons, Scouting Fleet, on the United States East Coast, in the Caribbean, and in the Panama Canal Zone until arrival at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 21 September 1929. She was decommissioned there on 1 May 1930 and sold on 17 January 1931.
In civilian use, Dale was converted to a fruit carrier and renamed MV Masaya. She acted as a United States Army freighter during World War II and was sunk by bombing on 28 March 1943 off the east coast off New Guinea.

Great difficulties may be surmounted by patience and perseverance.”
—Abigail Adams (1744–1818)
“But every jet of chaos which threatens to exterminate us is convertible by intellect into wholesome force. Fate is unpenetrated causes.”
