In episode 1 we explore what Destroyer Escorts are and why they were built. After we get a good grip on DEs, we’ll dive into the history of USS SLATER and how she became the Destroyer Escort Historical Museum. We’ve tried not to go overboard on the photos this time around, considering this website it filled with them, but you can find a small selection below in the gallery. You can also follow along by reading the transcript as you listen.
