Buckley Class Destroyer Escort
The ''Buckley''-class destroyer escorts were 102 destroyer escorts launched in the United States in 1943–44. They served in World War II as convoy escorts and anti-submarine warfare ships. The lead ship was which was launched on 9 January 1943. The ships had General Electric steam turbo-electric transmission. The ships were prefabricated at various factories in the United States, and the units brought together in the shipyards, where they were welded together on the slipways. The ''Buckley'' class was the second class of destroyer escort, succeeding the s. One of the main design differences was that the hull was significantly lengthened on the ''Buckley'' class; this long-hull design proved so successful that it was used for all further destroyer escort classes. The class was also known as the TE type, from Turbo Electric drive. The TE was replaced with a diesel-electric plant to yield the design of the successor ("DET"). A total of 154 were ordered with 6 being completed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Andrés Bonifacio-class Frigate
The ''Andrés Bonifacio'' class is a ship class of four frigates that served with the Philippine Navy from 1976 to the mid-1990s. These ships were formerly used by the US Navy as ''Barnegat''-class small seaplane tenders and by the US Coast Guard as ''Casco''-class Coast Guard High Endurance Cutters. Under the Philippine Navy, the four vessels have undergone upgrades and modification, and were categorized as frigates. During their time, they were considered as the largest Philippine Navy combat ships of her time. History The ''Barnegat''-class small seaplane tenders also served in the US Coast Guard as the ''Casco''-class cutters. The only class of purpose-built small seaplane tenders in the US Navy, they were designed to operate out of small harbors and atolls and had a shallow draft. The fact that the class was very seaworthy, had good habitability, and long range made them well suited to ocean-station duty. Fast, heavily armed and exceptionally versatile, they served in a wid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Casco-class Cutter
The ''Casco'' class was a large class of United States Coast Guard cutters in commission from the late 1940s through the late 1980s. They saw service as weather reporting ships in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans until the early 1970s, and some saw combat service during the Vietnam War. Design Between 1941 and 1946, the United States Navy acquired 35 ''Barnegat''-class small seaplane tenders, designated "AVP" in the Navys alphanumeric hull numbering system and designed to logistically and administratively support a squadron of flying boats operating from undeveloped areas and, with a substantial anti-air, antisurface, and antisubmarine capability, to escort larger seaplane tenders. Most of them served during World War II, although even during the war the Navy determined the number of ''Barnegat''s to be surplus to requirements; as a result, one was completed as a catapult training ship for Navy floatplane pilots (retaining its "AVP" designation) and four were converted during ...

Barnegat-class Seaplane Tender
The ''Barnegat'' class was a large class of United States Navy small seaplane tenders (AVP) built during World War II. Thirty were completed as seaplane tenders, four as motor torpedo boat tenders, and one as a catapult training ship.''Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1922–1946'', p. 157 Design Before World War II, the United States Navy foresaw a need for a large force of seaplane tenders in the event of a war in the Pacific, to allow air operations from undeveloped islands and atolls. Full-size seaplane tenders (AVs) were designed to support two squadrons of flying boats each, but they were more expensive to build and had a deep draft, precluding their use in shallow harbors. The U.S. Navy therefore also planned for "small seaplane tenders" (AVPs), with a shallower draft, capable of supporting only one squadron each, but cheaper to build and able to operate in shallow waters. The AVPs were not the descendants of the "seaplane tenders (destroyer)" (AVDs); those had be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
