The Cannon class was a class of destroyer escorts built by the United States primarily for antisubmarine warfare and convoy escort service during World War II. The lead ship, USS Cannon, was commissioned on 26 September 1943 at Wilmington, Delaware. Of the 116 ships ordered, 44 were cancelled and six were commissioned directly into the Free French Forces. Destroyer escorts were regular companions escorting vulnerable cargo ships.

With the decommissioning of the Philippine Navy's BRP Rajah Humabon (PS-11) in March 2018; HTMS Pin Klao (DE-413) of the Royal Thai Navy is the only ship of the class in commission.

Propulsion

The class was also known as the DET type from their diesel electric tandem drives. The propulsion system of the Evarts-class (GMT = General Motors Tandem) was identical. The DET's substitution for a turboelectric propulsion plant was the primary difference with the predecessor Buckley ("TE") class. The DET was, in turn, replaced with a direct-drive diesel plant to yield the design of the successor Edsall ("FMR") class.

Hull numbers

A total of 72 ships of the Cannon class were built.

DE-99 through DE-113 (six are French)
DE-162 through DE-197
DE-739 through DE-750
DE-763 through DE-771

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 turboelectric design. The fuel-efficient diesel-electric plant greatly improved the range of the Cannon class, but at the cost of speed.

This fourth class of destroyer escorts mounted a direct-drive diesel configuration that proved to be extremely reliable.
