The Cannons, completed in 1943-44, combined the long hulls of the Buckleys with the diesel machinery of the Evarts class. They had somewhat longer range than the Evarts, but rolled at least as badly, and were despised by their crews. The Navy apparently shared the crew's opinion, judging from the relatively small numbers produced.
None were lost in combat.
