Project history: Given the relatively high cost of a Dealey, these were an attempt to produce a minimum ocean escort, consonant with ASW requirements and with mobilization considerations. Diesel power (with two shafts) was therefore chosen, with speed limited to 22kts; weapons were reduced to a pair of fixed Hedgehogs, a lightweight ASW torpedo-dropping system and a single stern depth-charge track. The result was widely disliked, and a call for renewed construction of a more satisfactory escort led back to the Bronsteins and their successors.
