USN destroyer escorts of Evarts class, transferred to Britain by lend-lease in 1943. They were classified as frigates of "Captain" class in Royal Navy and received names of naval officers of Napoleonic wars. Originally destroyer escorts were designed for deliveries to Britain, but soon the USA began to build the same ships and for themselves. On early design stages it was supposed to use modified design of "Hunt" class escort destroyer, however this idea have quickly refused. Flush-decked, with the big sheer, all-welded, with two rudders. There were some variants of the ship differing only by machinery, artillery and hull dimensions (so-called "long hull" and "short hull"). Under the specification they would had triple 533mm TT, but it was removed right after acceptance by RN, and frigates of delivery in 1944 at all were not completed with it. During service of the first ships their excessive stability conducting to a choppy rocking from which the crew strongly suffered has come to light. This lack was fixed simply enough: additional stock of DCs (160 instead of 100) was placed on upper deck, that has made a rocking of much smoother.
1944 - 1945, most survived without Boforses: - 2 x 1 - 20/70; + 1 x 2 - 40/56 Bofors Mk 1.2, (0 - 5) - 20/70 Oerlikon Mk II/IV. Ships can carry 2 Mk10* DC (stowage of usual DCs was decreased to 16).
6/1944, Lawford: - 1 x 1 - 76/50, 1 x 2 - 40/56, SC-2, SL radars; + 5 x 1 - 20/70 Oerlikon Mk II/IV (15 at all), SU, type 272 radars, HQ facilities
