These vessels were smaller, slower, and less versatile than the fleet destroyer classes but offered ease of use, lower costs, quicker deployment and improved maneuverability. More than 150 ships were constructed for service with the US Navy or the British Navy as Captain Class Frigates. Each ship featured a substantial arsenal including three 3-inch artillery pieces, one quad 40 mm anti-aircraft gun, three M14 torpedo launch tubes, and up to eight 20mm cannons. Additionally, these ships equipped mousetrap launchers, after racks for depth charge roll-offs, k-gun launchers for depth charges, the latest sonar technology and underwater search equipment for effective anti-submarine warfare. The Buckley class Destroyer escort gained prominence in the movie "The Enemy Below," with most scenes filmed on board a real Buckley Class ship.
