B.t.w. it was the USS Tucker
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Tucker_(DD-374)
"... Tucker stretched her fuel supply by rigging Sails. Her homemade foresail and mainsail moved Tucker at an estimated 3.4 knots, letting her maintain steerageway as she loitered on station several days."
She had a kind of inglorious end, hitting a mine that had been laid a day before by own US ships, but was not informed.
