PC-461-class submarine chaser
The PC-461 class submarine chasers were a class of 343 submarine chasers built mainly for the US Navy built from 1941-1944. The ''PC-461''s were based primarily on two experimental submarine chasers, the ''PC-451'' and ''PC-452''. While ''PC-461'' began the series, the first of the class to enter service was the ''PC-471''. As part of the Lend-Lease program, 46 ships of this class were transferred to allies of the United States. Fifty-nine ''PC-461''s were converted to other types of patrol vessels. Eight vessels of this class were lost, and one vessel was lost after conversion to a ''PGM-9 class motor gunboat.'' Only one ''PC-461'', ''USS PC-566'' captained by Herbert G. Claudius, actually sank a submarine, , during World War II.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=72 Years Later, Snubbed Captain Credited With Downing German U-Boat )〕
One member of this class, the ''USS PC-1264'', was one of only two ships in the Navy during World War II that had a mostly African-American crew.
