The ''Claud Jones'' class destroyer escorts were four ships built for the US Navy in the late 1950s. These ships were a Diesel version of the earlier Dealey class and were designed with the aim of producing a cheaper ship suitable for rapid production in wartime. These ships also had reduced armament and speed compared to their predecessors. They were not seen as effective anti-submarine vessels and were sold after only 15 years service. ==Hull numbers== A total of four ships of the ''Claud Jones'' class were built. All were decommissioned in 1973-1974 and sold onto the Indonesian Navy. All ships were built by Avondale. * : Commissioned 1958.
