Project history

US-built frigates of Tacoma class, delivered by lend-lease in 1944. They represented "River" design modified under possibilities of US yards. The basic difference consisted in all-welded hulls instead of riveted. Armament structure was similar accepted on USN destroyer escorts. In total about 100 ships were built in the USA, 21 were transferred to UK.

Modernizations

1944 - 1945, all: + (2 - 6) - 20/70 Oerlikon Mk II/IV, 4 DCT. DC stowage was increased up to 160.

1/1946: 3 x 1 - 76/50 Mk 21, 2 x 2 - 40/56 Mk 1, 6 x 1 - 20/70 Mk 10, 1 x 24 - 178 Hedgehog Mk 10 ASWRL, 8 DCT, 2 DCR (64 DC), SA, SL radars, QGA sonar
