	destroyer escort - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		Full size destroyers must be able to keep up with and exceed the speed of fast capital ships, typically needing better than 25-35 knot speeds(dependent upon the era and navy) and carrying torpedoes and a relatively smaller caliber of cannon to use against enemy ships, as well as anti-submarine detection equipment and weapons.
		The 1975 ship reclassification changed ocean escorts to frigates (FF) to bring the USN's nomenclature to be more similar to those in other NATO countries, and more importantly, similair to the USSR.
		When the United States entered the war, and found they also required an Anti-Submarine warfare ship and that the Destroyer Escort fitted their needs perfectly, a system of rationing was put in place whereby out of every five Destroyer Escortss completed four would be allocated to the U.S.Navy and one to the British Royal Navy.

		These ships were ship-rigged and carried all their main guns on a single gun deck, what had used to be the upper gun deck on similarly-sized two-decked ships earlier.
		The Royal Navy captured a handful of the new French frigates during the early stages of the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) and were duly impressed by them, particularly for their inshore handling capabilities.

		In 1975, the United States Navy undertook a major reclassification of many of its surface vessels, including cruisers, frigates, ocean escorts, and carriers, resulting in a variety of changes to the terminology and hull classification symbols used by the Navy.
		There were relatively few of these ships, due to their cost and because the Frigates could carry almost as many weapons as a Cruiser.
		The first ship of the type was a redesignated ASW cruiser; the next 4 were very large AAW (gun) destroyers, and the remainder were essentially oversize guided missile destroyers.
