The Rudderows,
completed in 1943-45, were officially known as the TEV type destroyer escorts. They were similar to
the Evarts class, but had longer
hulls to accommodate more powerful turboelectric machinery and were
armed with 5" guns. Of all the destroyer escort classes, they and the John C. Butlers probably came
the closest to realizing the original concept. However, fifty
units of this class were converted on the ways to fast attack transports
(Crosley
class), and another 180 were canceled, so that just 22 were
completed as destroyer escorts.
None were lost in combat in the Pacific.
