The Buckley Class Destroyer Escorts were an essential part of the Allied war effort during World War II. While these ships lacked the firepower and range of fleet destroyers, they made up for it with their ease of operation, lower costs, rapid deployment capabilities, and high maneuverability. Over 150 ships of this class saw action in the US Navy or British Navy as Captain Class Frigates, significantly contributing to Allied victories. Notably, these ships were equipped with an impressive arsenal that included three 3-inch artillery pieces, a quad 40mm anti-aircraft gun, and several other advanced defensive systems. Their versatility also made them effective multi-purpose combat vessels. They featured a mix of firepower including up to eight 20mm cannons for added anti-submarine capability.
