	History Of The DE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The capability of submarines to interdict their enemy's supply lines and to destroy his ability to wage war was the single reason for the inception of the destroyer escort.
		Destroyer escorts customarily went alongside a designated merchant marine or navy tanker in the convoy to fuel, although some preferred to fuel astern of the tanker.
		Astern waited another escort ready to move into the fueling position as soon as it was clear and also to act as a rescue ship in case of a man overboard during the hazardous evolution.

		When opportunity provided, the destroyer escort could itself fulfill the mission of the destroyer by attacking surface ships with guns and torpedoes and serving as scout ships of the fleet.
		The destroyer class of ship came into existence as a weapon against the torpedo boat which itself came about as a cheap weapon against capital ships.
		Destroyers also were capable, being larger and more durable than torpedo boats, of serving as scout ships for the fleet.

	DE-5 Evarts class
		Given that the fast majority of the ships under production in 1940, especially the destroyers, were intended for fleet work, not for convoy escort, the United States Navy had a clear deficiency in that regard.
		The escort vessels of World War I, SCs and "Eagle" boats, had been scrapped or where in such state as to be useless; and certainly, technological progress had rendered them obsolete in any event.
		Escort destroyers of this class served in all theaters on general escort duty.

	USS Wintle DE-25
		Escort Carriers, the "baby flat-tops," were designated CVE's and the joke was that they were nick-named after their design: "Combustible, Vulnerable, Expendable." CVE's and DE's were regular companions escorting the vulnerable cargo ships.
		Evarts class ships were supposed to use eight diesels for 12,000 HP, but shortages of the powerplants caused a redesign for only four diesels and a total of 6,000 HP.
		Later classes of the DE were a little wider, longer and deeper, and often had their ballast extended when used in the rough North Atlantic.

		Her layout was followed by one hundred seventy four more destroyers called the Fletcher class and became synonymous with the word "destroyer," though there were a dozen classes.
		In 1943, with the Evarts class, the DE (destroyer escort) class of ship came into existence as a less expensive ocean escort against the submarine threat.

	Captain Class Frigate - Welcome
		Great Britain in 1941 found herself short of suitable escort vessels capable of deep ocean convoy duties having to rely on corvettes, a few sloops, trawlers and occasionally fleet destroyers which were not as plentiful since their heavy losses during the first year of the war.
		US Navy reserve fleet for ninety nine year lease of six Caribbean Islands, these old destroyers were really past their best and many spent a lot of time in repair yards with constant breakdowns.
		Although these vessels were to be produced mainly for anti submarine warfare the US Navy designated them as Destroyer Escorts and in addition to their Anti-Submarine weapons they were fitted with torpedo tubes on the superstructure midships, thus sticking to the Destroyer mentality.

		The Group were now all together at Belfast on the 2nd April except for Loring which according to records was unallocated at Holy Loch, and later records show her refitting in the Clyde in June, presumably because Pollock Dock Belfast was pulled out with refits.
		The first group deployment was as close escort to a convoy bound for Newfoundland, only four of the group took part as Lawson it is presumed was still refitting.
		Their next patrol was back to Biscay, where at the time of the Allied break out from the bridge heads, was driving the E Boats out of the Channel towards Holland, and on the Atlantic coast of France the U-Boats were abandoning their safe havens.

		Cannon Class Destroyer Escorts in World War II were equipped with diesel engines manufactured by the Cleveland Diesel Engine Division, General Motors Corporation of Cleveland, Ohio (as shown here would be the aft inboard side, control end, of Engine 1 or 2 in B1 or outboard side of #4 in B3).
		The machinery in the CANNON class Destroyer Escorts was very similar to the machinery that powered diesel electric submarines (see the Bowfin site) of the same period.
		Other classes, such as the BUCKLEY and RUDDEROW classes, used steam driven turbines to generate electricity for the drive motors and were referred to as TE and TEV.

		Nearly all classes are to be found in the book--only nine lines for the 136-foot YMS, with a fine photo.
		Worth says of the American diesel-driven Cannon-class destroyer escorts that they "rolled as badly as the Evarts type," an earlier class of destroyer escort that he reports was prone to "lurid" rolls.
		Discussing briefly another class in which I sailed, the 173-foot American sub marine chasers, Worth reports accurately that they were "wet forward and generally uncomfortable in heavy seas." Indeed, in a head sea of any magnitude, solid water often swept over the pilothouse.

		As part of the agreement the U.S. placed an order in early 1941 for fifty Destroyer Escorts, a specially designed ship that was a third of the cost of fleet destroyers, would take much less time to construct and yet have the same escort and anti-submarine capabilities.
		Due to the armament and powerplant configurations, the Destroyer Escorts of WW II were broken down into six classes.
		These Destroyer Escorts were similar to the BUCKLEY class in external appearance with 3" guns, long hull and high bridge superstructure.
