USS Ramsay (DD-124) was a Wickes-class destroyer commissioned by the United States Navy in 1918. Initially serving during the final months of World War I, Ramsay primarily performed convoy escort and patrol duties along the Atlantic coast. In World War II, she was converted into a minelayer (DM-16) and participated in the defense of Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941. Throughout the war, USS Ramsay conducted minesweeping, escort, and patrol operations in the Pacific until she was decommissioned in 1945.
