Destroyer Division 921 (abbrev: DesDiv 921) is a defunct Destroyer division that reported to Task Group 91.1 within the Tenth Fleet. Commanded by then-CDR Jack Yeager, from his flagship {{#if:
|HMS Roland (DD-476) |{{#if:DD-476 |HMS Roland |HMS Roland
}}}}, this division's area of operations included Contra Costa County and the Greater Sacramento area of California.
History
DesDiv 231 was formed and established in June 2016 with Naval Directive 16JUN-01 from the acting First Space Lord, ADM Lord Sir John Roberts, to CDR Yeager to assume command. Its charter member vessels were {{#if:
|HMS Roland (DD-476) |{{#if:DD-476 |HMS Roland |HMS Roland
}}}} (flagship) and {{#if:
|HMS Chainshot (DD-372) |{{#if:DD-372 |HMS Chainshot |HMS Chainshot
}}}}. The division was dissolved on August 23, 2016, when Roland upgraded to the superdreadnought, {{#if:
|HMS Intractable (SD-459) |{{#if:SD-459 |HMS Intractable |HMS Intractable
}}}}. With only Chainshot left within the division, it was rendered an unsustainable echelon force.
