Minecraft: U.S.S. PC-461 Tutorial | Patrol Submarine Chaser (1:1 Scale)

The PC-461-class submarine chasers were a class of 343 submarine chasers constructed mainly for the US Navy and built from 1941 to 1944. As part of the Lend-Lease program, 46 ships of this class were transferred to allies of the United States. Eight vessels of this class were lost. Only one of the class, USS PC-566 commanded by Lieutenant Commander (later Captain) Herbert G. Claudius, actually sank a submarine, U-166, during World War II; however, the website 'Patrol Craft Sailors Association' cites PC-461-class ships sinking or assisting sinking up to 6 German and Japanese subs. PC-461 submarine chasers were used in the Pacific, Atlantic, Caribbean, and Mediterranean. Numerous PC-461 class vessels were used to aid in amphibious assaults, including the Normandy invasion. One member of this class, USS PC-1264, was one of only two ships in the US Navy during World War II that had a mostly African-American crew
