Destroyer escorts defended vital convoys during World War II. Mass-produced between 1943-45, 563 were launched, giving the U.S. Navy strategic strength in anti-submarine warfare. Swift and maneuverable, these ships performed diverse roles into the Vietnam era. USS Slater is the best-preserved example in the world.
