The organization may have changed between 1936 and 1939, but by 1939 this was DesDiv 1 of DesRon 1 with that 4th ship being Worden (DD-352). DesDiv 2 were the other 4 DDs of the Farragut class (Farragut, Aylwin, Dale, Monaghan). All were attached to Destroyers Battle Force at San Diego, and most were at Pearl Harbor Dec 7 1941.
