Daniel Todd Patterson was born on Long Island, New York, on 06 March 1786. He entered the U.S. Navy as an acting Midshipman in 1799, and had Quasi-War with France
service in the frigate Delaware. During the war with Tripoli he served in the frigates Constitution and Philadelphia, becoming a prisoner of war when
the latter was captured on 31 October 1803. Released in 1805, Midshipman Patterson was assigned to duty at New Orleans, Louisiana. He served there for nearly two decades, attaining the ranks
of Lieutenant in 1807 and Master Commandant in 1812. Later in 1812 Patterson took command of the New Orleans station. In 1814 he led an amphibious attack on a pirate town in Barataria Bay and
in December directed Naval forces in actions that significantly delayed the British approach to New Orleans. The following month, Master Commandant Patterson distinguished himself in action
with the British during the Battle of New Orleans. Promoted to Captain in February 1815, Patterson's service at New Orleans continued until 1824, when he took command of the frigate
Constitution. He was appointed a Navy Commissioner in 1828. In 1832-1836 he commanded the Mediterranean Squadron, with the title of Commodore. Subsequently, Patterson was
Commandant of the Washington Navy Yard, holding that post until he died on 25 August 1839.
USS Patterson (DE 1061) was the third ship named in his honor. She was preceded by DD 36 (1911-1919), and
DD 392 (1937-1945).
