Clase Buckley
La Clase Buckley de destructores escolta consistió en 102 buques botados en Estados Unidos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, entre 1943 y 1945. Sirvieron durante la SGM como escoltas de convoyes y buques de guerra antisubmarina.[1] Los buques se caracterizaron por tener motores turbo-eléctricos de General Electric, y ser prefabricados en múltiples factorías en EE. UU., enviando las partes listas para ser ensambladas en los astilleros, donde eran soldados directamente en la rampa de botadura.

Historial
editarLa clase Buckley fue la segunda iteración de destructores escolta, siendo la primera la Clase Evarts. Una de las mayores diferencias fue que el casco fue alargado significativamente para la Buckley; este diseño resultó tan exitoso, que todas las clases posteriores de destructores escolta lo utilizaron de allí en adelante. La clase era conocida también como el 'Tipo "TE"', por sus motores.
Fueron ordenados un total de 154, de los cuales 6 se completaron como transportes rápidos "APD". 37 adicionales fueron también convertidos posteriormente. 46 Buckleys se entregaron a la Marina Real Británica bajo el auspicio de la Ley de Préstamo y Arriendo; Estos 46 fueron ligeramente modificados por los ingleses y reclasificados como fragatas de la Clase Captain, por ser todos nombrados en conmemoración de capitanes de las Guerras Napoleónicas.
Después de la guerra, muchos de los buques sobrevivientes fueron transferidos a las Armadas de Taiwán, Chile, Corea del Sur, México, Colombia y otros países. El resto fueron transferidos a la flota de reserva de la Armada de los Estados Unidos donde permanecieron por varios años hasta su disposición final.

Consultado el 8 de julio de 2012. «The CANNON class was very similar in design to the BUCKLEY class, the primary difference being a diesel-electric power plant instead of the BUCKLEY class's turbo-electric design. The fuel-efficient diesel-electric plant greatly improved the range of the CANNON class, but at the cost of speed.»
