During World War II, 563 destroyer escorts battled Nazi U-boats on the North Atlantic, protecting convoys of men and material. In the Pacific they stood in line to defend naval task forces from Japanese submarines and Kamikaze air attacks. Today, only one of these ships remains afloat in the United States, USS Slater.
