Wiley (DD-597) was a Fletcher-class destroyer of the United States Navy. The Puget Sound Navy Yard at Bremerton, Washington, laid her keel on 10 August 1943. She entered the water on 25 September 1944. Mrs. Herbert V. Wiley sponsored her. Mrs. Wiley's husband, Vice Admiral Herbert V. Wiley, had retired from the Navy. The yard commissioned the destroyer on 22 February 1945, and Benjamin Prince Field became captain the same day.
Shakedown was carried out from San Diego and lasted through the end of April 1945. She then returned to Puget Sound for an availability. On 19 May she sailed from Port Angeles for the Hawaiian Islands and reached Pearl Harbor on the 26th. Practice near Oahu occupied the three weeks that followed. On 13 June she put to sea to escort the escort carrier Cape Gloucester to the Philippines. Leyte was reached on 13 July. She entered Subic Bay on 15 July.
From Philippine waters she continued training into the first week of August. On 9 August she left Subic Bay with a small group of tankers and took them toward the Ryukyus. Japan surrendered within the week, and the war in the Pacific ended.
Wiley afterward served with the North China force along the Asian coast. Communist and Nationalist forces were fighting for control of the northern provinces that Japan had occupied, and the destroyer's work there was peacekeeping. In the next three months she visited Dalian and Port Arthur, and also Yantai, Qingdao, and Qinhuangdao. Her guns destroyed Japanese mines that were still afloat, and she screened the cruisers of Cruiser Division 6. On 8 September, at Jinsen in Korea, she covered the landing of an American peacekeeping force.
On 12 October she left the cruisers and joined a fast carrier force in the Gulf of Bohai. During the latter half of October she screened the carriers Antietam and Boxer and served as plane guard while they flew over the Yellow Sea. That assignment ended on 18 November, when she joined San Francisco at anchor off Taku. Four days later she moved to Jinsen, embarked passengers and mail, and called at Shanghai, Qingdao, and Taku, landing part of the group at each port. She was back at Jinsen on 30 November.
Wiley stayed in the Far East into December, then sailed home by way of Guam, Eniwetok, and Pearl Harbor. She arrived at San Francisco on 3 January 1946. Inactivation orders came on 11 March, and she entered San Diego the next day. On 15 May 1946 she was decommissioned and placed in reserve, remaining berthed at San Diego until the Navy struck her from the list on 1 May 1968. National Metal and Steel Corporation, at Terminal Island in Los Angeles, bought her on 2 April 1970, and the hull was scrapped. She had survived the war.
