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.

Famous quotes containing the word fate:
“My fate cries out,
And makes each petty artery in this body
As hardy as the Nemean lion’s nerve.”

“Narcotics have been systematically scapegoated and demonized. The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate is an anathema to these idiots. I predict that in the near future, right wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus.”
—Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Father Tom Murphy (William S. Burroughs)
