==Career==
''PC-558'' was laid down on 31 October 1941 by the Luders Marine Construction Co. in Stamford, Connecticut and launched on 13 September 1942. She was commissioned on 19 November 1942 and assigned to the Atlantic and Mediterranean theater of operations.
On 9 May 1944, ''PC-558'' was patrolling the region north of Palermo, Sicily. Her lookout spotted the Plexiglas dome and tail of a German one-man submarine — a Neger — away from the ship. After firing on the Neger with 20 mm and 40 mm cannon fire and dropping two depth charges, ''PC-558'' successfully destroyed the vessel and captured the sole occupant, ''Oberfähnrich'' Walter Schulz. ''PC-558'' was later joined by ''PC-626'' and spotted another Neger. After another cannon and depth charge attack, the Neger was destroyed and the occupant was captured alive. ''PC-558'' was later destroyed after being struck by a single torpedo fired by a German U-boat, . A nearby ship — ''PC-1235'' — was fired at three times by the U-boat and all three torpedoes missed their target. ''PC-1235'' drove off ''U-230'' and returned to rescue the thirty surviving crewmembers of ''PC-558''.
