''Duckworth'' was ordered on 10 January 1942 as DE-61, long-hulled turbo-diesel (TE) type destroyer escort, one of more than 500 such vessels built for ASW to a collaborative British-American design.〔Elliott p245〕 Laid down on 16 January 1943 by the Bethlehem Hingham Shipyard, in Massachusetts, she was launched on 1 May 1943 as USS ''Gary'' in honour of Thomas J. Gary, a Texan who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor. She was transferred to the Royal Navy under Lend-Lease on completion on 4 August 1943, and named for John Thomas Duckworth, a RN officer of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. She replaced a previous ''Duckworth'', numbered BDE-19, which was commissioned into the US Navy as the ''Burden R Hastings''. ''Duckworth's'' pennant number was K351.〔Elliott p262〕
