Fate
On 22 November 1930, Sinclair was renamed Light Target (IX-37). Due to faulty boilers, however, her conversion to a target ship was cancelled, and she was replaced by Kilty (DD-137). She recovered her original name on 24 April 1931 and her destroyer designation on 11 August 1931.
Sinclair was struck from the Navy list on 5 June 1935 and sold on 30 August 1935 to Learner and Rosenthal, Oakland, California, for scrapping.
As of 2005, no other ship have been named Sinclair.

“I am no Poet here; my pen ‘s the spout,
Where the rain water of my eyes run out,
In pity of that name, whose fate wee see

The Muses are not Mer-maids, though upon
His death the Ocean might turn Helicon”
