PCE-842-class patrol craft
The Patrol Craft Escort was a World War II naval ship that was intended as a coastal and convoy escort. It was derived from the 180 foot as a substitute for the 173 foot that was used for Anti-submarine warfare (ASW) in coastal areas.〔Gardiner and Chesneau 1980, p. 151.〕 At 185 feet long and 640 tons, the PCE is more than twice the displacement of the PC. It has a crew complement of 99 officers and men.
==Development and design==
The ''Admirable'' class had been developed as a smaller minesweeper than the and s, which would be cheaper and easier to build, while still having good seakeeping capabilities in high seas. An escort derivative of the new design was proposed for supply under the Lend-Lease scheme to Britain's Royal Navy (which had already rejected the ''Admirable'' -class as minesweepers), and when the US Navy realized that a shortage of engines might prevent it from receiving additional beyond those already on order, it was decided to build the escort variant, designated as PCEs (Patrol Craft Escort) for both the US Navy and Royal Navy.〔〔Friedman 1987, pp. 83, 85.〕
