The Buckley Class Destroyer Escorts were a fleet of ships constructed and launched between 1943 and 1944 for use in World War II efforts. Despite their limitations - smaller size, slower speed, and reduced range compared to fleet destroyers - these vessels were advantageous due to their ease of deployment, lower costs, faster mobilization, and increased maneuverability. Over 150 of these ships were built, serving the US Navy or British Navy as Captain Class Frigates. Each vessel was equipped with an array of armaments, including three 3-inch artillery pieces, one quad 40 mm anti-aircraft gun, three torpedo launch tubes for standard M14 torpedoes, and up to eight 20 mm cannons. They also featured mousetrap launchers, after racks for roll-off depth charges, and six to eight k-gun launchers for underwater detonation. Moreover, the ships were equipped with state-of-the-art sonar and underwater search gear for effective anti-submarine warfare. Notably, the Buckley class Destroyer escort made a significant appearance in the movie "The Enemy Below," where most scenes were filmed on board an actual Buckley Class ship.
