Service History
Generally similar to the Cannon class, the Edsalls possessed a reduction-geared diesel drive system with 6000hp. Speed and armament were the same as in the Cannon class.
Various minor modifications were made to these ships in the anti-air armament. Radar equipment was installed as the availability permitted.
Escort destroyers of this class served in all theaters on general escort duty. No ship of this class was lost in the Pacific.
