Шаблон:Infobox ship imageШаблон:Infobox ship class overviewШаблон:Infobox ship characteristicsThe Claud Jones-class destroyer escorts were four destroyer escorts built for the United States Navy in the late 1950s. These ships were a diesel-powered version of the earlier Шаблон:Sclass and were designed with the aim of producing a cheaper ship suitable for rapid production in wartime. These ships also had reduced armament and speed compared to their predecessors. They were not seen as effective anti-submarine warfare vessels by the United States Navy and were sold after only 15 years service to the Indonesian Navy.
Description
The class was designed under project SCB 131 as a cost-effective version of an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) ship that could be built quickly in case of rapid mobilization.[1] The Claud Jones class had a standard displacement of Шаблон:Convert and were Шаблон:Convert at full load. The destroyer escorts were Шаблон:Convert long at the waterline and Шаблон:Convert overall with a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draft of Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn The Claud Jones class had an aluminum superstructure, a tripod mast forward and a pole mast further back amidships, with two stacks.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Efn
Following the guidelines given to them, the designers chose a single-shaft diesel-powered ship to maximize cost effectiveness.[2] The Claud Jones class were given four Fairbanks Morse 38ND8 diesel engines rated at Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:Sfn The class had a range of Шаблон:Convert at Шаблон:Convert and a maximum speed of Шаблон:Convert.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Efn
The ships were initially armed with two [[3-inch/50-caliber gun|Шаблон:Convert/50 caliber guns]], one located forward with a closed shield and one located aft with an open shield.Шаблон:Efn For ASW, the destroyer escorts were equipped with two forward-firing hedgehog anti-submarine mortars, two fixed Шаблон:Convert Mark 32 Surface Vessel Torpedo Tubes and one depth charge rack placed over the stern. The fixed torpedo tubes were later removed and replaced with two triple tube mounts.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In 1961, Charles Berry and McMorris received a Norwegian-designed Terne III ASW rocket-propelled depth-charge system.Шаблон:Sfn
The Claud Jones class was initially equipped with variable depth sonar, AN/SPS-10 and AN/SPS-6 search radars and SQS-29/32 hull-mounted sonar. The variable depth sonar was later removed. The vessels had a ship's company of 175 with 15 officers and 160 enlisted personnel.Шаблон:Sfn The class was not well-received and the designers were ordered to come back with another design, leading to the successor Шаблон:Sclasss.Шаблон:Sfn
Indonesian service
The four vessels of the class were transferred to the Indonesian Navy in 1973–1974. In Indonesian service, Samadikun (ex-John R. Perry) and Martadinata (ex-Charles Berry) had one of the 3-inch guns removed and given Soviet twin-mounted Шаблон:Convert guns and twin-mounted Шаблон:Convert guns. Monginsidi (ex-Claud Jones) and Ngurah Rai (ex-McMorris) kept their two 3-inch mounts and had twin-mounted 25 mm guns added.Шаблон:Sfn
