Overview
The Clemson class differed from its predecessor by its increased range and improved anti-submarine capabilities, which were installed to combat German submarines. Some of the ships were converted into minelayers, some of which were transferred to the U.K. During World War II, the lead ship was deployed in the USS Bogue aircraft carrier group, then participated in the Pacific campaign. Over the course of World War II, the ship was awarded nine battle stars.
