Slightly faster and larger than the escort destroyers of the previous era, they were fitted with twin-mounted 3 inch guns, [[Anti-submarine warfare|ASW]] rockets, a depth charge rack and 6 depth charge launchers. There were later modernizations that removed the ASW rockets and the depth charges in favor of nuclear-capable anti-submarine rocket launchers and torpedo mounts which fired lighter homing torpedoes.

The Dealey class destroyer escorts were the first post-World War II escort ships built for the United States Navy. Slightly faster and larger than the escort destroyers of the previous era, they were fitted with twin-mounted 3 inch guns, ASW rockets, a depth charge rack and 6 depth charge launchers. There were later modernizations that removed the ASW rockets and the depth charges in favor of nuclear-capable anti-submarine rocket launchers and torpedo mounts which fired lighter homing torpedoes.

They were decommissioned in 1972 and 1973 in favor of the Knox class frigate. USS Dealey (DE-1006) and USS Hartley (DE-1029) were sold at surplus to other countries in 1972, with the remainder of the class being sold for scrap.
