For the first namesake, NHHC's Maddox I history identifies Destroyer No. 168, later DD-168, laid down on 20 July 1918 and launched on 27 October 1918. Mrs. Clarence N. Hinkamp, Captain Maddox's granddaughter, sponsored the launch. The official transfer chronology is Britain in September 1940, Canada in 1942, and the Soviet Navy in 1944. These designations and dates replace abbreviated or mistaken readings in the older family narrative while preserving the supplement as the archive source that led to the verification.
