What happened to America's 563 destroyer escorts after World War II ended? These mass-produced submarine hunters crowded naval bases from Norfolk to San Diego, but within three decades, 99.8% had vanished. This documentary explores the extraordinary disposal of the largest warship class ever built by one nation—through mothballing, foreign transfers, Korean War reactivations, scrapping operations, and the remarkable story of the sole survivor that returned across the Atlantic after 50 years of service.
Discover how the US Navy faced an unprecedented challenge: what to do with hundreds of modern warships that suddenly had no enemy to fight. From the reserve fleets of the 1940s to Cold War modernizations, from Brazilian and Japanese naval service to the shipbreaker's torch, follow the complete post-war fate of the destroyer escorts that once dominated America's anti-submarine warfare.
