Episode 28 - USS MOSLEY
USS MOSLEY DE-321 is an example of courage, determination, and tactical excellence, as evidenced by her two battle stars from World War II. As one of the first DEs to be manned by Coast Guardsmen, she played a considerable part in weakening the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine. In her role, she battled enemies from the sea and skies, proving Destroyer Escorts unbeatable in convoy protection.
