''PC-1264'' was in service for less than two years, but the performance of her crew—and of the USS ''Masons—led the U.S. Navy to reevaluate its perception of African Americans as members of the fleet. Although sold for scrapping, the ship remains at the former Donjon Marine Yard in Rossville, Staten Island.
==Career==
The USS ''PC-1264'' was laid down at Consolidated Shipbuilding Company in Morris Heights, New York, on 7 October 1943 and launched on 28 November 1943.〔Priolo and Radigan 2005.〕 The ''PC-1264'' was a United States Navy ''PC-461''-class submarine chaser. This patrol class of submarine chaser was intended to intercept and destroy German U-boats stationed off the coast of the United States. Less expensive and faster to build than destroyers or even destroyer escorts, and requiring smaller crews, they quickly filled an important need for coastal convoy protection and anti-submarine warfare.〔Purdon 1972, pp. 29–30.〕
The ''PC-1264'' was commissioned in April 1944 and decommissioned in February 1946, serving a little less than 22 months as a U.S. Navy fighting ship.〔Purdon 1972, pp. 52–57, 247〕
