USS Ward (DD-139) was a Wikes-class destroyer commissioned in July 1918. In the early morning hours of December 7, 1941, she was on patrol at the mouth of Pearl Harbor when she encountered an small vessel attempting to enter the harbour. She fired on the vessel, driving it off. Years later it was discovered that the vessel was a Japanese midget submarine trying to enter the habour ahead of the main attack later that morning. The Ward’s shots sank the sub making the Ward’s action the first American shots fired in WW2.
