Originally constructed as the United States Navy Evarts-class destroyer escort USS Herzog (DE-277), she served in the Royal Navy from 1943 to 1946.
Construction and transfer
The ship was ordered on 25 January 1942[1] and laid down as USS Herzog (DE-277), the first ship of the name, by the Boston Navy Yard in Boston, Massachusetts, on 20 May 1943. She was launched on 8 July 1943. The United States transferred her to the United Kingdom under Lend-Lease on 14 October 1943.
Service history
The ship was commissioned into service in the Royal Navy as HMS Gore (K481) on 14 October 1943[1] simultaneously with her transfer. She served on patrol and escort duty.
On 26 February 1944, Gore joined the British frigates Шаблон:HMS and Шаблон:HMS in a depth-charge attack that sank the German submarine U-91 in the North Atlantic Ocean at position Шаблон:Coord.[1]
On 29 February 1944, Gore was operating as part of the First Escort Group when she, Affleck, Gould, and the British frigate Шаблон:HMS detected the German submarine U-358 in the North Atlantic north-northeast of the Azores and began a depth-charge attack which continued through the night and into 1 March 1944, the four frigates dropping a combined 104 depth charges. Gore and Garlies were forced to withdraw to Gibraltar to refuel on 1 March, but Affleck and Gould continued to attack U-358. During the afternoon of 1 March, U-358 succeeded in torpedoing and sinking Gould at position Шаблон:Coord, but then was forced to surface after 38 hours submerged and was sunk by gunfire from Affleck at position Шаблон:Coord.[1][2]
The Royal Navy returned Gore to the U.S. Navy on 2 May 1946.
Disposal
The U.S. Navy sold Gore on either 19 November 1946[3] or 10 June 1947[4] (sources vary) for scrapping.
