	'''NAMESAKE''' - Joshua Barney (July 6 1759 - December 1 1818)<br/>		'''NAMESAKE''' - Commodore Joshua Barney, USN (6 July 1759 - 1 December 1818)<br/>
	Barney served with distinction in the Navy during both the Revolution and The War of 1812. In February 1776, as Master’s Mate of HORNET, he took part in Commodore Hopkins’s descent upon New Providence. Later he served on WASP and was made a Lieutenant for gallantry in the action between that vessel and the British brig TENDER. While serving on ANDREA DORIA he took a prominent part in the defense of the DELAWARE. Lieutenant Barney was taken prisoner several times and several times exchanged. In 1779 he was again taken prisoner and was imprisoned in Hill Prison in England until his escape in 1781. In 1782 he was put in command of the ship HYDER ALLY, in which he captured the British ship, GENERAL MONK, a vessel of far heavier guns than his own. He was given command of this prize and sailed for France with dispatches for Benjamin Franklin, returning with the information that peace had been declared. After the Revolution he entered the French Navy, where he was made Commander of a squadron. After a successful stint as the captain of the privateer Rossie early in the War of 1812, Barney devised a plan to defend the Chesapeake Bay that the Navy Department accepted. As a Captain in the U.S. Navy, he assembled, outfitted, and manned a flotilla of barges that served to delay but not deter the British forces from attacking Washington. After scuttling his vessels to prevent their capture, Barney and his flotillamen made a valiant but doomed attempt to repulse the British at Bladensburg, Maryland, on August 24 1814. For his gallant conduct in the defense of the capital, he received a sword from the city of Philadelphia and the thanks of the legislature of Georgia. The wounds received in the battle of Bladensburg may have contributed to his death in Pittsburgh in 1818, which occurred while on his way to Kentucky where he planned to retire. His body is buried in ~~Pittsburg~~'s Allegheny Cemetery		Barney served with distinction in the Navy during both the Revolution War and The War of 1812.

			The ships sponsor was Mrs. Harry D. Wortman.<br/><br/>
			Four Ships of the US Navy have been named in his honor - USS Commodore Barney (Civil War ferryboat), USS Barney TB-25, [[BARNEY_AG_113_ \| USS Barney DD-149]] and USS Barney DDG-6.

<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3>
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime.
The list is in chronological order.
<table width="90%">
<tr>
<td valign="top">

Charles F. Adams Class Guided Missle Destroyer<br/>
Originally classified as Destroyer DD-956<br/>
Reclassified Guided Missile Destroyer (DDG) April 23 1957<br/>

<li>'''USS BARNEY DDG-6'''<br/>
Commissioned August 11 1962 - Decommissioned December 17 1990<br/><br/>

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p> </p>

<h3>Naval Covers</h3>
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie,
for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should
be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date
range for covers on that page.
<ol>
<li>[[USS BARNEY DDG-6_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1]]    (1962-84)</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>

<h3>Postmarks</h3>
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a
separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry
in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks
should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark
has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest
known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
<br/> <br/>
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Joshua Barney (July 6 1759 - December 1 1818)<br/>
Barney served with distinction in the Navy during both the Revolution and The War of 1812. In February 1776, as Master’s Mate of HORNET, he took part in Commodore Hopkins’s descent upon New Providence. Later he served on WASP and was made a Lieutenant for gallantry in the action between that vessel and the British brig TENDER. While serving on ANDREA DORIA he took a prominent part in the defense of the DELAWARE. Lieutenant Barney was taken prisoner several times and several times exchanged. In 1779 he was again taken prisoner and was imprisoned in Hill Prison in England until his escape in 1781. In 1782 he was put in command of the ship HYDER ALLY, in which he captured the British ship, GENERAL MONK, a vessel of far heavier guns than his own. He was given command of this prize and sailed for France with dispatches for Benjamin Franklin, returning with the information that peace had been declared. After the Revolution he entered the French Navy, where he was made Commander of a squadron. After a successful stint as the captain of the privateer Rossie early in the War of 1812, Barney devised a plan to defend the Chesapeake Bay that the Navy Department accepted. As a Captain in the U.S. Navy, he assembled, outfitted, and manned a flotilla of barges that served to delay but not deter the British forces from attacking Washington. After scuttling his vessels to prevent their capture, Barney and his flotillamen made a valiant but doomed attempt to repulse the British at Bladensburg, Maryland, on August 24 1814. For his gallant conduct in the defense of the capital, he received a sword from the city of Philadelphia and the thanks of the legislature of Georgia. The wounds received in the battle of Bladensburg may have contributed to his death in Pittsburgh in 1818, which occurred while on his way to Kentucky where he planned to retire. His body is buried in Pittsburg's Allegheny Cemetery
