She was built by General Engineering and Drydock at Oakland, California, and launched on 11 September 1930. She performed Bering Sea patrols and reported more navigation law infractions than other ships of the class. She became HMS Landguard on 20 May 1941, and escorted convoy SL-109. While patrolling the Bay of Biscay with the 40th support group, Landguard was damaged during the first successful Henschel Hs 293 glide bomb attack on 25 August 1943. Landguard was scrapped in Ceylon 1949.
