Am I the only one who thinks destroyer escorts and escort carriers (and the British frigates and corvettes) are the most underrated ships of World War II?

I am ecstatic that a WWll DE was saved! They are no doubt unsung heroes of WWll naval warfare! The Sammy B Roberts was a DE that fought like a battleship and helped save thousands of American soldiers in October 1944. May the tiny tin cans not be forgotten!

@@johnnydeville5701 there is also another preserved DE in Texas, think an edsall class. The Hull and super structure still exists in Columbia think it's a rudderow class or Crossley high speed transport variant.

Nice Video! My neighbor's brother Frank Slater was on the USS San Francisco CA 38 & was killed on it & the USS Slater DE 766 was named after him. He mentioned how the whole Slater family went to christen this ship.

My father served on the USS Slater in 1946. He participated in the restoration efforts until he was 85 years old or so. I couldn’t be more proud of him and the men like him. He’ll be 93 this December (2019) and he’s doing fantastic. The Slater is an amazing museum ship. It is worth making the trip to Albany to see her. And remember that she was commanded by men in their early 30s and crewed by men that were 18 and 19-year-olds in extremely large oceans. The Slater rode-out a typhoon in the pacific. Dad said the storm wasn’t much fun.
