Service

Stewart commissioned on 1 December 1902, Lieutenant Frederick A. Traut in command, although the U.S. Navy's officer Register of Officers lists Traut as having been assigned to the Naval Academy starting on 15 November, 1902 and Lieutenant Arthur Bainbridge Hoff being in command of the Stewart from 10 September, 1902.[6]

In early 1904, she was one of six destroyers in the Second Torpedo Flotilla.[7]
