USS Greer (DD–145) was a Wickes-class destroyer in the United States Navy, the first ship named for Rear Admiral James A. Greer (1833–1904). In what became known as the "Greer incident," she became the first US Navy ship to fire on a German ship, three months before the United States officially entered World War II. The incident led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to issue what became known as his "shoot-on-sight" order. Roosevelt publicly confirmed the "shoot on sight" order on 11 September 1941, effectively declaring naval war against Germany and Italy in the Battle of the Atlantic.

  • Die USS Greer (DD–145) war ein Zerstörer der Wickes-Klasse der US Navy. Der Zerstörer war das erste Schiff der US Marine, das – über drei Monate vor der Kriegserklärung des Deutschen Reiches an die Vereinigten Staaten – im Atlantik von einem deutschen U-Boot angegriffen wurde. Als Reaktion auf diesen Zwischenfall gab Präsident Franklin D. Roosevelt den Schiffen der US Navy die Anweisung, nicht erst einen Angriff abzuwarten, sondern sofort zuzuschlagen, wenn sie ein Wasserfahrzeug der Achsenmächte sichteten („Shoot on sight order“).

  • 基爾號驅逐艦(舷號DD-145)是一艘美國海軍建造的驅逐艦,為維克斯級驅逐艦的71號艦。她是美軍第一艘以基爾為名的軍艦,以紀念美國內戰時期的海軍軍官(James A. Greer)。 基爾號在1918年於開始建造,在同年下水服役,其時第一次世界大戰已經結束。稍後基爾號分別在大西洋及遠東執勤,並在1922年退役封存。1930年基爾號重返現役,在太平洋及大西洋之間作訓練用途,於1936年再次退役。第二次世界大戰爆發後,基爾號重新服役,並在大西洋西部作,護航商船。1941年9月,基爾號在前往冰島途中,因追擊德國U-652號潛艇而引發外交風波。美國指德國潛艇攻擊在先,而下令美軍可自由攻擊進入美國海域的德國與意大利軍艦,然而事實上基爾號是收到英國飛機報告後,主動追蹤德國潛艇近三小時,並以深水炸彈攻擊在先,迫使德國潛艇以魚雷反擊。美國在年底參戰後,基爾號繼續負責護航商船,期間曾發生多次撞船意外。1944年基爾號改為靶艦,訓練海軍飛行員。1945年基爾號退役除籍,並出售拆解。 (zh)
